Venting out Window - Light and Temp Control Help

Hey Friends,

I am looking for help in venting out my window.

My situation:
Ø 5x5 tent with 12 COB Vero29 V7’s – setup is upstairs and has a mini clip fan + 18 inch fan on ceiling of tent + 6” carbon filter/fan combo.
Ø I have another tent 3x3 with 2 x T5 ballasts (2foot 4bulbs) with 2 mini clip fans. 1 is blowing above down on t5’s, other is blowing on mother plant.
Anything else please ask

Both of these are venting into the same room as the tents are in. My window is taped overtop with pool liner to keep all the light out as I don’t have blinds. Therefore the window isn’t opened which is a drag because I could vent out that window and allow fresh air in.

I am looking for help with venting out my window but not allowing air in through on the side I am venting out or light. On the other side of the window there is another sliding window where I can let air in.

Right now I can’t open the window as it pushes against my pool liner and the tape starts coming off and so does my pool liner.
I am only using masking tape and painters tape which hold up fine but won’t if air is pushing against it.
I can’t use stronger tape as I can’t ruin the paint on walls.

I am looking for help on venting my tents and allowing air in while keeping all lights out.

Thank you!!!

Subbed for this, I also can't run extraction out my place because my apartment doesn't have windows just doors which can't be open 24/7.

I do know that there are those a/c things that go around windows which you can attach a/c exhausts to. That might be of use to you?

You can also use a gutted window ac. Or the window attachment for the portable ones are available as a replacement part.

Watch for light leaks. Always have to get creative about those.

I use a two way window intake/exhaust fan. To mount my ducting to it I drillers tiny holes in a 8" to 6" reducer. I then tightly zip tied the the ducting reducer to one of the grates of the fan. I then covered up the remaining gap with duct tape. I have on side of the window fan connected to my hood which exhausts whenever my light turns on. That side of the window fan also turns on with the light acting as a booster. The other side is connected to a temperature sensitive inline that pulls through a carbon filter when the tent gets too hot. The window fan is slim enough so I can still have my screen in behind it so when I'm less likely to have anything try to fly up into the ducting. Pests or what have you. I lastly have blind above it and a curtain behind the blinds. It's dope. I think I got the fan for cheap off of Amazon. On the other end of the room is an AC in a different window. To help with cooling so as that tent vents it passively pulls in cool air.
