NEW GROW NEED HELP!

I'll try and keep it simple.

My main concern is ventilation.

I have a 3x3 grow tent, 600 w ac reflector (hps+mh), plan to scrog 9 plants.

From what I know, air should be SUCKED through carbon filters then exhausted on top.
But, I have been reading, when using an ac reflector it is best to have the carbon filter near the intake hole?

Or

Should I use two vent systems, one for the room ( CF near exhaust ) and one for the light (intake blown over light to second exhaust hole.

If you have the resources do two vent systems.

I do a smaller grow and I can tailor room extraction
without compromising temps. Plants like a steady, low
air flow.

My opinion, based on my needs, natch.

You shouldn't need a dedicated exhaust for a small tent. It is really dependent on the temperature of the room the tent is in though. I am assuming it is in a relatively mild, stable temperature controlled area which would make one exhaust and passive intakes fine.

Run it filter > ducting > hood > ducting > fan > out

PS

A nine plant SCROG in a 3'x3' tent?

I should mention I grow in a room that is not climate
controlled, I avoid flowering in the summer months.

I overlooked the 9 plant thing, op?
