Drying tent ventilation/odor control

I need some advice on the best way to setup odor control for my drying tent. I have had various different setups up until now so things have always been different.

Im in a basement, with a curtained off lung room (i know environmentally speaking the whole basement is the lung room, it's more visual.) The plants are in a 4x8 with an 6" intake with hepa filter and an 8" outtake with an 8" XL carbon filter. This does the job until I open the door for any period of time and then the whole basement reaks for a short while. I have another 8" fan with filter as an air scrubber to help with that issue^.


I have an empty 5x5 next to the 4x8 that at the moment has no ventilation.

My question is can I open the passive vents and just put a couple clip fans for the dry, or is air exchange necessary? Would 8 get better odor control with the air scrubber next to the two tents where it is, or hung in the 5x5 with a duct back out to the lung room?

Run exhaust to flower tent, the carbon filter should scrub both. Use small size duct to hopefully control air flow better.

Do you mean as a passive intake? I do not have a 4th fan.

Run a 4" flexible ducting/pipe from dry tent to flower tent. You may have to damper to limit air flow.

Okay, so my next question is how that would effect the rest of the system. If I put just a passive duct from a tent with no pressure to a tent with negative pressure the air will passively pull from the dry tent into the flower tent?

Yes.

I would be inclined to put the filter and fan inside the tent with a duct to the lung room with an extraction fan set on a humidity control at 62 percent relative humidity.
