Alright, So I built a 10x10 room. I split this room into 2 5x10 rooms, one for veg and one for flower. Now, I need a little advice on how I should vent it. I am planning on putting a 6in inline fan and carbon filter (425 cfm) in the flower room that will also be attached to 3 600 watt cool tubes and be vented outside. I am not sure how to vent air into the room. I am leaning toward getting a 4in inline fan and pulling air from outside when its cooler (<75 degrees) and into the veg room. And when its warmer just pull air from the house. Then I will cut some holes into the panda film that divides the 2 rooms so that air can pass between the rooms. Please feel free to add your 2 cents because any advice would be beneficial. Thanks!

you can do passive intake (no fan) and let the negative pressure form the exhaust draw the air in.
One 6" fan with a carbon filter is going to struggle to cool 3 600 watt lights.

not saying that this thread is the perfect setup. I think he could make improvements but he is well respected on these forums.

I recommend getting an 8" fan for the 3 hoods and set them up to pull fresh air, not air from the room. This will allow a ton more air to go over them by not having to use a charcoal filter Then use a 6" fan(another 8" would be best) with a filter to suck hot air out of the space, scrubbing it for smell. From here, a 4" fan for intake would be fine so long as you are sucking out more than you are blowing in(negative pressure). This prevents smell from escaping and increases the effectiveness of your exhaust. This is all assuming you want to use fresh air to replenish CO2 and to cool the room. Read the links, good info
