Intake is bottom of door.
Will pulling air from the same room my passive intake comes from be a problem ?.

Should I just use one fan and filter and go outside? Will it really make a difference using the hoods air supply separate ?

Is it fine I'm exhausting back into the same room(fresh air through hoods from laundry room)

Is that Spongebob or your basement? Where do you live? It depends on where you live. How hot does it get in summer where you live? How cold in the winter?

You will just be recycling stale air from growroom to laundry with your current design... you need to bring in fresh air from some source like an AC, duct to outside house, or something depending on where u live.

Ok.

So would having my passive intake then having another intake going to the hood.. And outside would this be ok?
I'm thinking of building a box around the window..its.only 5x10 socill make it big enough just to put two ducts to it and it should floe through the whole window a lot better

It all depends where you live and the temperatures.... What is the thing on the left wall?
My 8" fan n filter.

Should I just suck in filter and blow through both hoods and out ?

Or should they be seperate.

If they have to be seperate the intake has to be from the laundry room..same as passive

Thanks

Ok I understand your drawing now, how is is cold air going to get into your laundry room exactly?

No big problem with the way you have the hoods venting into the laundry room.

Your house temps are much more important (getting cold fresh air into the laundry room from an AC duct or keeping the kitchen door open). If you cannot get cold fresh air into your laundry room, the plants will fry.
