I'm going to reduce the ducting to the carbon scrubber as much as possible. Anyone think that will help? If so anyone got a good way of hanging a scrubber?

ok so I was thinking what if I forget air cooling the hood. What if i hook up the scrubber directly to the vortex fan to exhaust some air and smell and just have air coming into the room from the a/c and 2 oscillating fans moving air around. Would this work in a 4ft x 3ft x 7ft growing area?

Anyone have an idea if that might work?? Maybe take the glass off the hood. Connect scrubber directly to vortex fan and just have ac bring in cool air and some oscillating fans?? Would it work in this area 4ft x 3ft x 7ft?

Ok I tried to find out where the smell is coming from. Still no luck the smell doesnt start until the light gets to max temp. I ran the ac on a different outlet from an outside room and I only have the light, ballast, vortex and oscillating fan on the outlet in the grow space. Could that be too much for the outlet? I'm no electrician but I think that should be ok. I mean this is an old building but the outlet should be able to handle that right?? Its a standard outlet.

Thanks Shtebaz. I figured out what the burning plastic smell was. It was a stupid defective wall mounted oscillating fan. So I returned the fan and got a new one. I disconnected my carbon scrubber for now and just have the vortex pulling air through the hood. My temps have been pretty good for now ranging from 78f-82f.

I'm thinking about getting another inline fan or squirrel cage fan to use for the carbon scrubber. Gotta figure some things out either pull some fresh air from outside and just exhaust the hot air out of the hood and grow space. Not sure what to do yet.

have a thermo swith on a fan to exhaust the hot air from the top of the room with a damper at the lower part of the room.
