Exhaust & Intake HELP!

Fellow grow philosophers and architects. I need your assistance. This is my first grow and I currently have a 4 x 8 tent in a room. WILL I HAVE ISSUES WITH PEST or anything else with this setup considering I am sucking in fresh cool air from outside?

I have the following going on:
  • 6" AC Infinity Fan with Carbon Filter inside the tent venting air out via a duct to a window.
  • 6" Vivosun intake an (240cfm) bringing fresh air in from the window straight into my grow room (not the tent).
  • Humidifier in the grow room (outside tent) to maintain ambient humidity.
My temps stay steady 75-80 degrees with this setup and humidity around 50% at all times. I have lights off during the day to avoid the increase in temps outside. I live in a generally low humidity area but things will get hot during the summer so I will need to incorporate a portable AC.

I have a huge piece of plywood cutout the size of the window with a cloth stapled to it for stealth purposes so it doesn't appear I have the window boarded up. It also helps with light leaks. Is there anything im doing wrong here?

On another note, I need to find a good portable AC that anyone can suggest. How would you recommend I setup the AC? Most that I look at on Amazon requires you exhaust the AC from a window. Sort of stuck here.
