Will This Work?!?!?!?

OK so im going to do my system like this...

Scrubber-->Light-->Light-->Vortex fan-->

the --> is 6in Aluminum Ducting and the airflow goes this way
---------------------------------------->

Materials: Can Filter Carbon Scrubber #50 with 420 CFM w/6inch flange, 2 BgHydros 1000 watt HPS Cool Tube Light System, Vortex inline exhaust fan 6 inch-449 CFM and a 16in wall mount fan to circulate the air inside the grow.....

So will this work guys? Like are my temps going to be okay? Or do i need to upgrade my vortex fan to a 8,10,12 inch to keep my temps down? Also how am i going to get air into the room? theres only a crack at the bottom of the door and A/C comes in threw the vents...is that enough or do i need to drill a hole threw my door/wall to get more airflow in the room? And i just found out the dimensions for my grow room today which are 14ft width, 12ft lenght and 9ft hight so i guess its 14x12x9? And im leasing the house from my parents till i finish my first year of collage so i dont have to worry about nosey landlords. :D Oh yah and my genetics im using are BOGs BlueMoonRocks, SweetCindy05, 2 packs of Medley and Rezivoirs WounderDiesel...Do you think my scrubbers good enough or should i upgrade? Havent purchased my equipment yet other than my seeds so any imput would be GREATLY appriciated PLZ HELP! :puppydoge sorry for the rant

Renting from your folks, man youd better be careful. With a plan like that, how do you know they wont just show up sometime to drop off a cake and say hello. Id be weary, but thats just me.

As for your setup it sounds good. I think a larger fan may help you but i think you can solve some problems by putting air duct fans into your ducting to help out the vortex. Good luck

Both my rents smoke herb, they dont care if i grow either :sasmokin:

Also the light i want to buy, the 1000 watt HPS, it says on the lights discription that it accepts 6" ducting so how could i upgrade my fan to say a vortex 10'' if the light only accepts 6" ducting? Is there a way around this like just buying 10" duct clamp and clamping the 10" aluminum ducting down to the the 6" hole on the air cooled bulb would that work?. :chin: :puppydoge

im not speaking from experience but i dont think your fan is big enough to cool the room. u are running 2000 watts indoors in the summer..... i think the temps will be a problem.

If you really want to upgrade the fan, then just use an 8" > 6" reducer with an 8" fan...there's really no reason to go any bigger unless your temps are just insane during summer.

Remember that going with too much ventilation will just suck out the cool air from the house...it might be wise to invest in a multiroom AC controller and damper so that you can adjust the cooling that's going into the room without robbing the rest of the place of AC.
