Long time reader here at riu finally took the plunge on my first grow i have a 2x4x5 tent 600w solis-tek ballest with cool tube 1 6 inch clip on fan vegging 5 plants under 2ft4bulb t5 for about a month in 5-5 gallon totes about to take clones and flip to 12/12 question is im in a small closet i have 5,000 btu window unit horizontal to the closet with ac on it gets to 70-77f with t5 and tent open no ventilation but once i turn on my 600 that will not work plan was to vent into attic to cool that 600 would i do better with a
Soler & Palau TD-150 Inline Mixed Flow Fan -6" going filter-duct-tube-duct-fan-duct attic or 2

Soler & Palau TD-100 Inline Mixed Flow Fan - 4" 1 duct-tube-duct-fan-duct-attic 1 for carbon filter-fan

with passive intake or should i get a duct fan closet is tight exact size so i only have acess to 2 ports top right middle right 1 passive flap so can anbody give me advise on which move to make 12/12 is planned for next week and also what carbon filter matches up with those fans thanks in advance also its summertime can hit 100 in july august
 
Out side of your tent blow the ceiling mount your fan blowing into the attic ,an air tight duct work so no hot air comes back in .Put a T adepter on the other side sucking in , run one line in ur tent to your carbon filter and the other to one side of you hood.Then on the other side of your hood ,run duct threw the tent and run it as far away from your tent as possible.(on the other side of the room). The air being pulled by the filter will draw in the cooled air to room where it needs to be ,while pulling the hood air from diffrent spot in your room .Sure your ac will run all the time but it just might work.Or get two fans one for the filter and one for hoods pulling air from another room to cool your light. Good luck

my total closet space is 2x8 so no width to work width only the length doors prevent the middle but i could slide it over enough to get a t connector out with ducting into the path of the ac inside run ducting to fan 1 on the lights and fan 2 on the filter and fan trying to be as stealth as possible do u think ducting filter out the tent but not into attic would effect temp dont wont smell everywhere in house threw the vents what would help the carbon filter
