Hey homies. Im hoping to get some help with an issue i have.

So i have this one grow room that id like to add another dedicated air intake to. The issue is i have no idea where to intake from and keep it stealthy(dont want to make it obviouse what im doing)

Im in a house and the room is in the basement under my garage.(concrete)
No windows that i can use.

A buddy told me to go all the way up the the attic and through the roof? Seemed a little too crazy for me.

Hoping someone that had experience with this sort of thing can help. Open to suggestions

could rent a core drill and core a hole through the slab in the garage. better yet, if the room below the garage the top part of the wall is above the ground outside you could also bolt a core drill to the side of the building and core a hole through the top of the wall. make it look like an intake for a gas furnace with pvc. regardless of where you put the vent if all the walls and ceiling are concrete like you said with no windows you will need the proper tool to cut a hole for a vent. heres what one looks like the base needs to be properly bolted befor drilling be careful.

What about using some ducting and pulling fresh air in from the other side of the basement?

Or adding your intake somewhere outside of the concrete room, where it will be easier, then ducting it into the grow area?

Going all the way up through your roof may be a little much. Is there some way to go through the ceiling of the basement/floor of the 1st floor and draw air into the grow room from inside your house somewhere? Like a subtle floor vent or wall vent in the laundry room or something?

I took my grow room door off, cut an inch off the bottom, and put it back on. Intake problem solved.

Hardly noticeable, except for the glow under the door... But it's only my veg room so can switch lights off if I ever need to get rid of that for a short period.

why cant you go out above the sill of the concrete foundation between the floor joists above the basement and between the floor joists?
