You can't 'pull air into'; that's PUSHING and it heats up the air you're trying to use to ventilate and cool with.

Pull OUT of the tent- from the top- and don't worry so much about how air gets in it, there should be vent flaps around the bottom of the tent anyway, those will admit air.

Ok, my bad for not saying it right.
So the room I am drawing air from is 375 cu ft with a 5000 btu A/C. There is a hole in the wall from that room with 6" ducting that runs into the tent. There is a 6" filter at the top of the tent attached to a 4" fan that is ducted out of the tent an into the garage via a hole that the 4" ducting run through. There is nothing being pushed into the tent. It is negative pressure.

And then I leave a flap open for air to come in and no issues.

That is how my set is, filter, ducting, fan that has ducting running out of the tent and into the garage. I want to draw air from the room that has the A/C and not open anything on the tent. That outside wall into the garage is not insulated and that room gets warm. So I want as closed of a system as I can get.

Listen to @ttystikk

In a tent there are flaps on the bottom that allow for a passive intake of air. Set up your charcoal filter and fan up top, sucking the hot air out. As the hot air is pulled out, cool air will automatically be pulled into the tent through the bottom flaps.

That is exactly what I will be doing only not allowing any air from through the flaps in the tent into that room, but ducted air from the other room with the A/C.
If I am not explaining it right when I get it set up I will post some pics.

I get it now; you might aim the conditioned air intake downwards as it enters the tent. Cool air is heavier and will sink and displace warmer air upwards and out your exhaust.

Did that explain it clearly TTystikk and is that what you meant by negative pressure.
I knew what I was saying just did not get the words to come out right in print. LOL, damn cannabis anyway, can't get high and do anything, bongsmilie

TT,
My baby's have stretched too much, three to five inches from top of the coco to the top of the plant. I can just bury them deeper when I transplant can't I?
Had the T5's at about 8" about the plants and went away for the weekend and damn the fuckers stretched to the light. Can I root prune when I transplant and just bury them deeper or just bury them deeper without pruning the roots.

No, they are at the two full leaf stage, as I said just babies.
I think I will just bury the deeper, the stems that are buried will begin to root out. It was my bad, being gone the first weekend after sprout allowed the to just stretch too much.

I had 5 seeds from Barneys, peppermint kush. I have to say they were the oddest plants in the room. They looked like shit no matter what I did. They stretched an unbelievable amount, they had to be bent over to stay within the lights. Very few fan leaves. I kicked them to the corner and they got leftovers but still grew and looked like shit until the last 2-3 weeks when they filled out. They turned out to be the most potent I've grown thus far. Don't prune the bottom branches either, they will grow nearly as tall as the top.

Ok back to the post, here is the wiring setup as it stands now, I like it.
Pics of the inside of the tent later today, closed up now, only the seedlings under 4 bulb T5.

Oh and buy the way, I had to take my laptop into the shop last week and so I removed all photos of grows and some pics of my lady (did not want them to see), then I deleted both of those files. Lost the USB drive I put them on. So 6yrs of pics gone! Fucking drag! Real Fucking drag!
