Help with 2 tent setup

Hello,

Room setup to get proper temps is the biggest challenge for me!

I have a

4x4 tent with a 8 bulb 4 foot t8 light
5x5 tent with a 8 inch air cooled 1000 watt light.

I have one carbon filter, two 6in inline fans, and a 8in booster fan.

I'm in a 10 x 12 basement room with just one sliding window that I have boxed off with rigid insulation. and I'm trying to minimize sound / vibrations for the sake of my upstairs neighbors.

Any ideas are appreciated, is there a resource with diagrams of how to set this up the most efficient way?

Thanks for your help!

I have 2 tents in a room both 4x4 carbon filter connected and other tent connected to that tents intake with a dehumidifier set at 40 with 4 led lights the temps stay at 85f with lights on while 10f outside and 75 with lights off I have a heater but it don't kick on while dehumidifier is on it heats the room It also lets me know when to water the dehumidifier is loud when on like a fridge

is one of those a veg tent?
If not I would say to get another air cooled hood and do a loop of outside air for them.
Have the fan push the air through from the outside so there won't be any smell leaks.
Then hook the two tents together with two pieces of 6" duct and recirculate the air between them. Flip the lights so one tent is dark while the other has light.

Whats your ambient temperature in the room? Have you run the setup and checked your current temps? What about air circulation in the tents, any fans in there? Are you running CO2?

I would run the 8" booster fan from the veg tent to the flowering tent. put the carbon filter + 6" inline fan in the flowering tent exhausting somewhere.

This way your veg tent will vent to your flowering tent, which will then be scrubbed and evacuated. I use a similar method except I just use passive ventilation for my veg tent, no booster fan. Since your veg doesn't get very hot, it doesn't make any impact to your flowering tent. Plus then you only have to have one exhaust fan running which will cut down on noise.
 
you may have to run the 8" bloom line and the 6" veg line to a common carbon filter/muffler system with a single output thru the window I would use spring mounts to reduce vibration noise, maybe some insulation on tents to keep fan noise down, and a white noise machine to help neutralize any ambient noise. Psychologists use these. fairly cheap device.
good luck
