What are the ambient temps of the room before any equipment is switched on?

What's currently happening with your ventilation that makes you want to change it?

Is the current room AC controlled?

The simplest way is to exhaust each tent out of your current room and control the temps in the room so that each tent intakes ambient air from the current room and remains a few degrees above ambient.

Air cooled hoods or open reflectors?

Hps or LED or cfl?

temp in that room with nothing going door open window shut ..........72 /75 (during this time of year )

i got popped offering my vape pipe to a undercover dea agent ...........the vent port is out front if someone is looking around when they come to the front door they could ID it .........and i want to vent the veggie tent with out tieing into the flower tent was thinking of trying a Photo plant later and need to correct the light leak issuse it makes (i do autos now so it does not effect me with them both on the same timing 20/4)

the room is AC with a 5000btu window shaker (that is in the window plus plywood that has been pained and sealed with a vent cover to keep bugs out of ducting )

no air cooled the exhaust is tied directly into the carbon filter for the tent

LEDs 2 600w matrix s

the room next door to this room is a wide open laundry that takes up about just little less then 1/3 of the whole basement (finished no bare floors or open walls)

the trouble is i am worried if i dump into there it will effect the plants since the air is drawn comes from outside one of the doors into that room ..........plus i want to add in C02 so i would be dumping that back into the house and the lvls will build to toxic

i am willing to make something to try to hide the venting outside (slate rock box) to absorb the heat of the ejection point and to keep it from being seen clearly .....but to do that i need to link the 2 tents to vent out that way and the only way i know how is to get a Wye junction then buy another 440 cfm fan so the 2 pressure match and it ejects instead of feeding down the weaker on ( i tried it with a 240 cfm and a 440 cfm .........i could feel back flow from the 240 and back flow damper did not work the pressure come back would not let it open up to eject the air from the 240

Holy crap! I am so bummed for you and I wish you speedy and favourable outcome. As for multiple outputs of air to one single exhaust, think manifold. In hvac industry, they make them a Y with 2 to 4 inputs or with more they make custom manifolds like this pipe. You can probably fabricate something without too much experience.

The single main exhaust out needs to be powered, and at that point the individual fans coming out of the tents are less stressed/affected by the coupling.
