My Room Layout: Opinions?

Hi,

I've got about one more week of vegging my scrog and am trying to get the layout right for flowering.

The room is 10x10x8 (800 cu ft)
(2) 4x4 tables
(1) 1000w light each table.
(3) 6 inch, 530 CFM fans

the carbon can will hang from ceiling, its fan will blow through the lights and out through the attic. The intake fan will be mounted to the floor's heat register and draw air from the much cooler crawl space.

My main question is do the placements of the carbon filter/fan, intake and exhaust fans make sense or are they the best way? That, and I hope the 3 fans are strong enough to do the job.

Thanks much for opinions/suggestions! : )

The carbon filter where it's at doesn't make sense because the lights don't smell

You diagram is missing some labels or I am missing some information.

You have only one intake?

Two exhausts for your lights? With a carbon filter on the light ventilation no less.

Help us help you, explain a little more for us would ya?

I'm wondering how your veg is looking do you have any pictures?

I want to vent the smell in the room to the outdoors. So, smelly room air sucked into canister, which in turn is ducted (yellow) through the lights to help cool them, and then out through ceiling into the attic and out the gable. I don't want odor outside the house.

Sure thing. Similar to above. The yellow parallel lines represent duct. The can hangs from ceiling, with an attached fan. There is only one room intake, through the register opening in the floor, on the opposite side of the room from the can. It will supply cooler air from the crawl space. So, cool air is supplied to the room - that air is sucked into the can (with fan) which pushes scrubbed air through the lights via the ducting and out into the attic and then outdoors.

Yup, here you go

Wow,I am a goofball.


Yeah your setup appears to be okay.

For whatever reason I couldn't make the simple connection that you were running from room air with the hood ventilation.

hey, no prob, i get cornfused all the time, that's why i come here : ) Thanks, I feel a little better, now...

Do you have anything moving the air within the room?

Yes, three wall fans, can add another, if necessary. I'm going to start a new thread, because I need info on possible overcrowding.

Gable vent......

Is this an old house? Really old house? I've seen old house's with poor heating systems. Such as old radiator heated homes, retrofitted with some sort of forced air, with no vents only holes in the floor. BLA BLA BLA, I know, but what I'm trying to get at is that normally during winter the upstairs doesn't get heated to a very warm temperature.....maybe lower 60's F. All is good....until a grow room is installed upstairs. Even if all the heat is ventilated properly, the heat conducted through the ceiling can pose a problem.

I wouldn't ventilate through the attic if you dont have to, or block gable vent. If you have to make sure the vents are insulated.

Why make things complicated by using 3 fans? I'd use 1 fan pulling through the hoods and passive intake. Might have to up the size to 8 inch.
