My first room. 5'x5' DR150 tent w/ 16 T5 54w bulbs and 2 24w CFLs. Only using 4" ducting to vent out I hope that will do the trick.

wwally1234 just posted a thread of his DR150 but he's using HPS lighting. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/92652-new-tent-set-up.html I noticed he is intaking air through the outside of the carbon scrubber and then venting it out through the ducting rather than taking in through ducting and then out through the scrubber. Is this more efficient at eliminating odors and creating better air outtake?

Let me know what you think about my room, this is my first setup ever so any suggestions are very much welcome. The first three pics don't show any ducting because I didn't set it up till after I took the pictures. The last picture shows how I set up the scrubber and the fan to pull air out.

Thanks in advance.

Cool, thanks. I was a bit worried after seeing yours because I was thinking to myself "Crap! I put holes in the ceiling for nothing!" I wish I had gotten a bigger fan/scrubber/ducting though but the price difference was pretty big between 4" and 6". I'll upgrade later I suppose.

The two CFLs I probably won't keep in the tent, I plan to use them in a separate little tent for my mothers. I could throw together a couple more of those things for like $15 each though if you guys think keeping the two in the tent is going to make much of a difference. I figure the only big difference it would make is during flowering. I'm waiting on an order of BC Mango, Purps, and BC Juicy Fruit. Mmmmm! I'm excited and I hope everything kicks off smoothly.

sounds good! are u going to open the bottom vents? do you think that will work ok? the exhaust fan will be pulling air through is my thought..

Yeah I rely on the exhaust fan to pull air in. I'm going to use an intake through the bottom on the opposite side. I'll let it pull cool air in over night through the window blind and then turn on the AC and let it pull in cool air from the room during the day, at least during the summer when it gets too hot during the day I think the tent would overheat.
