Im so confused about what your doing I just had to tell you.
It should be carbon filter > fan > ducting > light > ducting going outside. Brace up the walls with pvc pipe to help stop the sucking in of the walls if possible.
Theres a whole section here about growroom design and about a million youtube videos on this subject.

That's sorta how I ran it,, filter,, ducting,, hood,,,ducting,, fan,, to outside,, but I opened up the bottom vents,, which helped with the excessive pull from the inline van,

filter,, ducting,, hood,,,ducting,, fan,, to outside, = which means if you have a air leak you are sucking stinky air outside the tent or dwelling. And you are pulling the hottest air possible over your fans components.
Is the filter and fan in the tent which in my mind it is cuz you want to exhaust the heat and stink out of the tent.
I dont think you need three fans to pull this off. One hooked to filter and lights and a small regular fan blowing the leaves around should be enough.

That's how I got it,, one fan hooked to filter & light,, & 1 oscillating fan to blow the leaves around,, the problem was,, my inline fan was creating to much suction on my tent,, to where I was losing 7-8 inches of space

Yes I've heard of full spectrum light,, just afraid to purchase the cheap ones I've read a lot and it says the cheap ones are all junk

Right on you did understand about my post and the possibility of it sucking stinky unfiltered air if you dont have it sealed of tight.
Cant you brace it up so it doesnt suck in as much or crack a vent flap open or a zipper and if your worried about the light leaking in or out couldnt you hang a dark towel or something to let air in and keep the light from showing, idk. To me one of the main reasons to grow in a tent is that you dont want the light blasting in the room all the time other than that I dont see much use for it.

Yes I saw the post hopefully I got everything sealed tight enough

I opened the back bottom vent & put that towards the wall,, it helped out a bunch with the suction, & I shouldn't get any light coming thru, I grow in a tent because I don't have room to build a grow in,, otherwise I'd jam one.. It's 55x55x76,, I also have heat issue during summer time,, I run a 1000w,, wondering if I should down grade to a 600w ???

Honestly it is gonna be hard to keep heat under control unless the room the tent is in is cold and you have good air exchange, run day cycle at night. Even then that 1000w lamp puts out a alot of radiation.

I tried that also running it at night,, yield seemed to be smaller,, than running during the day,, then dark with regular dark outside,, because then I was able to bring in cooler fresh air running it during the day hot/cold opposed to running it at night it would be hot/ hot in the warmer months
