Hey guys I have a few Qs that id like to put out there. first of all my space is 12 feet by 5 feet. and from 4 feet to 2.5 foot tall. I have ran power (12-2 romax) and added a 20 amp breaker to the box. now the main prob is that I only have one inline fan. its 240 cfms. now I could either use it to push or pull, I bought a few of the exhale CO2 bags and a 5500 sq foot ozone gen. if I add cooler air, will the ozone gen handle the load. Im worried about smell due to down stair tenant's, plus I want to run holy grail kush. the floor walls and ceiling are all tongen and groove hard wood. Also you an also smell everything that Is getting cooked downstairs. ive never used the gen or any gen I should say. im growing 4 plants max and prob just 2 at a time. I have reg fans to give breeze and what not. the temps are alrdy up in the 80s with 10 cfls. I plan on running my 400 hps open hood also. now the only place that I can draw in air would be from a room that isn't ACed from central, just a shaker. the door to the space isn't air tight but there isn't much room for a lot of air. Thanks guys for any and all input

If you're worried about smell hook a carbon filter up to your inline and use it as exhaust. You need to do that anyways, induction won't do you any good if you have no exit.

So you think that if I pull the hot air from around the light, that it then would pull cooler air in fro around the room? and if I did that would the ozone still do its job?

And no this isn't my first grow, but I do think this space does come with its own set of challenges and hurdles. I plan on using the madd farmer for N.U.T.S and MOB and slicla shield. im using the right veg nutes. I have ph under control. Im starting to think that a cool tube might be my best option?

If your using co2 then the room should be sealed so you would need a air cooled hood of some kind to vent the hot air right from the light, if you don't then your just sucking the co2 out of the room so there'd be no point

I agree Shawns but the co2 bags are alrdy paid for. I've decided on making an aired cooled hood out of the reg reflector that I have. Im just gonna stick an (8x4 to 4" round) intake to the hood and pull the air closes to blub out to another room.

then what you could do is hook the filter and the exhaust fan together, exhausting the smell and heat and just turn your exhaust fan off for a little while after releasing the C02 then back on again and you could do that a couple times a day

careful with the ozone gen, they can burn plants from what ive read.

Id just get negative air pressure in the room, and install a minisplit. skip the co2, or have slightly less intake to the room. minisplit will cool without removing the hot air, then slight negative air pressure through a carbon filter and your set (could even try to run co2 with that setup).
