so i almost got my setup ready to go but just realised that i have a ducting problem. my aircooled hood is 6 inches, my exhaust holes in my grow tent is 6 inches, but my vortex is 4 inches and i cant find any ducting thats 6 inches on one end and 4 iches on the other end. hell, i cant even find 6 inch ducting. is there a way around this?

I think Lowes has those 6'' to 4'' ducting adaptors.. or just simply tape a thick/strong garbage bag to both ends, as long as the air flow is not too strong and the volume of the garbage bag (section that you ripped off) isn't too large (shouldn't expand with air flow) then it should work...
so i would need 2 of those adapters... one from the vortex to the xhaust hole and one from the vortex to the hood? am i correct?

yea you would need from exh to fan and fan to hood hope you have plenty of room or you are gonna have rigid set up you need room for you flexible duct if i were you i would trade your 4 inch for a 6 inch 4 inch might not push enough air through your hood i would ckeck this out. home depot has those duct adapters they also have cheap 6 inch inline duct fans that push 250 cfms for only $28.00 bucks very quiet also works great
thanks, i just realised that i have a single 4 inch exhaust in the back of the tent, so i guess i need only one. so their that big huh? that sucks. one more question. how many cfm's do you think i'll knock off by adding a carbon filter? like i said i have 112cf so its 58 cfm left over... thanks again cause im totally lost with the setup process
