Throw the ducting no, I dont believe so. I have 2 different rooms with different hoods in each.
Block buster's in one, hydrofarm raident's in the other. The SS are a pritty solid desine, not loosing any throw them. The Hydrofarms are POS IMO, the sealing on them sucks, I have to be loosing some throw them, but still not much. My ducting is insolated so that helps alot. Not porse like some of the others ducting I have used ether.

Ive been using the insolated ducting from Home D.way cheeper then the crap the hydro shops sell...

I have a whole bunch of Fujitsu Halycons. They work great.

I also just self-installed an Ideal-air minisplit. For the price and the precharged lines, it's a good bargain. Not hard to install at all.

I like the use of outside air ducted direct to the lights. This air is going to be exhausted so why bother to cool it. Excellent energy saving method we dont always use. Be sure to use insulated ducts, they act like radiators if left bare.
