Grow tent and room ventilation issue/question

whats up guys we are currently running a 4x4 ac infinity tent with the ac infinity cloud line t6 inline fan and carbon filter. We have two passive intakes at the bottom of the tent with a couple feet of duct with screen on the end for both passive holes. We are exhausting in to the same room the tent is in. we thought we could get away with it because the central air but we were wrong we know are stuck with rising temps and humidity levels that I already know will spiral later in this grow. my only solution I see is vent out the window which I was trying to avoid but I need to know 2 things

1: how far of ducting can I run before I need a booster fan. the stretch is looking at about 15ish feet with 1 maybe 2 right angle turns but very intrusive in the room, or the hanging method would be 20ish feet with 3 right angles and out of the way.

2: if I need a booster fan I have read on ac infinities site the booster fan is not suitable for use in applications with restricted airflow like systems that use carbon filters. Im assuming that just means as a standalone unit with carbon filter but I want to make sure before I get something that wont solve my problem

help me out fam!

I just run about 25' of ducting out of my lung room into my main living area. I'm not worried about odor at all though. It's not pretty but I don't give a shit, we don't entertain due to the grow and I can just move it when I need to.

I have the same T6 fan and with 2 or 3 90 degree bends and 25 feet of ducting it has no problem keeping my tent at 80-82 running at the 6 or 7 setting. This is with 74 degree ambient air temperature in the lung room and 650 true watts of light in the 4*4. I don't run a carbon filter now but I have in the past and as long as they weren't clogged I never had a problem. When they got old and clogged up it would be a drain on that long of a run. Keep the pre filter clean and you'll be good.
