I dont run a 3 light setup anymore but what i did was Filter > fan > light > light > crappy inline fan thingy > light -> exhaust to attic. I also had it suck air from outside ->fan -> light -> light ->light ->attic, and used the inline fan to pull through the filter -> out to attic. Didn't seem to work as well however.

could also consider just to run the ventilation you have now with the filter on for smell
and then run a separate sealed line/ventilation for the lights now you have 3 of em
when I had a 600W running I had it
filter- alu ducting- coolhood - alu ducting - 6" ventilation pulling air out the room

Carbon filter - duct - light - duct - light - duct - light - duct - fan - silencer - awesome.
Intake can be passive, active, whatever floats your boat. Watch for positive or negative pressure on your room. Usually growers prefer a slight negative pressure (more exhaust than intake) to contain smell. It's also popular in hospitals to contain airborne pathogens with known or suspected carriers. Anyway, what happened?

I like Slipons idea. I would think that a 6" booster fan per light should do the job and 6" or 8" inline w/carbon filter (depending on tent size) for your tent exaust. You could also try useing 1 6" or 8" inline with a 3-way duct splitter for your lights, but I'd go with the booster fans. Cheaper, not sure, but atleast if one gos down you still have 2 working. In any case, Good luck and Happy growing.
