Where should I put my exhaust in this room?

I have a guy coming over Monday to install a dryer vent into the wall in this room.
I am switching the 400 watt installed in the attached picture out for my 1000 watt.
I'm having humidity issues in my current flower room so I'm swapping them out.
I can't really move the light and there is an air conditioner unit in the wall on the right.
I can put it on either of the walls pictured.

I could use advice and input

I'll be running
1- 1000 watt HP's
1- window mounted ac unit
1- 6 in fan / carbon filter
The plan is to flower my girl and as many clones from her as I can fit under the light
While I am waiting on my seeds to get to me.

My current flower closet is much smaller and I'm having heat issues that won't be as devastating if it's my veg room instead.
Kind of rushing into things

It seems like it may work better as a sealed room...??
I'm not sure 100% what sealed room means

Does that mean for me to just put my fan and filter in and let it just recycle the same air( odor control is a major nevcesity)
Without putting the ventilation hole in the wall?

I was under the impression I had to vent out the air.
The ac unit in there I can keep my temps under control no problem it's my odor issue being the main reason I was going to install
The vent

Help me out bro
 
Its more important where the filter is placed. Which should be high up, preferably in one corner while you have the lowest opposite corner as passive or active intake.
For example top right with filter and bottom left with intake.
I would still put the dryer vent hole high so you can run a straight duct to fan to duct to filter so everything is fairly straight.

Your probably looking at a 5 degree rise from ambient temp with that fan and 1000w of light.
 
By sealed room he means clean the air without extracting, use the AC to keep temps down and add co2. Plus a dehumidifier.

Personally I think an active air exchange and scrubbing is cleaner for smell. As long as your ambient temps are not too high

Excellent
This was what I needed to know.
So the door to the room ( where I'm standing in pic/ would be my passive intake
( Door doesn't close all the way)
I nailed up some black plastic sheeting overlapping the door to prevent any light leaks
But makes sense that it will be pulling IN my air
So top right corner for filter.
That would put me having to have my fan on the door side of the light with my exhaust running out the right side of the pictured ac
Is this correct?

I DO want to try the co2 thing. Just the basic YouTube diy one
So if it worked as a sealed room
Each time I open the door it would release the stank correct? I can't have that
 
Yeah that sounds

You can still scrub the air in a sealed room.

Venting or sealed every time you open the door the smell will escape.
 
I just like to say that I don't run a sealed room but wish I did. It has allot of advantages over the intake/outtake systems and if your going to be running AC anyway, well...

Thanks bro much appreciation.
New plan
I just got finished using can foam around the ac unit to seal it in
Then I made a large plastic door for both sides of the door larger than the frame.
It's 8 heavy duty restaurant dish pit trash bags
Taped them together with medical tape ( it was big and what o had)
You can clearly see the room sucking in the bags.

I took some screws and cardboard squares and screwed the plastic sheet up on the inside
Putting a screw about every 9-12 inches
I put cardboard squares between the screw head and the plastic to keep it from being ripped out.
Then I got some guerrilla tape and taped it up even more so it's totally sealed other than the bottom of the door.
All I can do about that is I have a little overhang so it will have to pull thru a lotta plastic before it can suck in any air or light.

Tomorrow I am switching lights and rooms fuckitall
