Yea good idea, thanks, I am going to go into attic and run more ducting to a big vent to the outside thats up there.Imo you should add to the ducting and route it outside instead of in the attic, as this will cause mold because of the RH from the grow room getting trapped along w/ the heat in the attic. If you reroute it to a vent going out of your attic you'll avoid the build up of humidity and heat. It can build up and effect the heat levels in your grow room.
Yea but pulling air from insde the tent through the lights and out the tent requires only 1 large fan instead of 2 fans one cooling lights and one running your filter. Then you have to have a 3rd fan for intake. Since I have 8' hoods I am using a large filter and just 1 725 cfm inline fan. I just want to exit my hot air somewhere other then back inside my room, which worked for winter, but now its too warm.I dont think its a good idea to suck the air from the tent thru the lights and out to wherever u want to put it. Leave the air in the tent, thats another subject. Push air from outside the tent thru the lights and then out to ur desired location. Then u wont get smell from this set up since ur pushing air and not sucking air. And if you cool ur tent u wont be sucking that nice cool air out.
Then get a seperate duct for fresh air intake that turns on every hour for 15 minutes or so, really depends on the cfm of that fan.

Vent into attic = moisture probs
if it's just strictly equipment room heat that does not add any additional moisture
It can if the attic air is cold, warm air holds more rh, then condensation can form as it re-cools.
Yea, thats exactly what I plan to do, thanks.just run a vent to the attic roof vent if you have to vent in the attic. As someone with AC/Home improvement background, you dont want to vent into the attic space.
I'm gonna have to disagree here, esp since we're discussing a subject that could seriously damage someone's home. Shit happens fast even when there's only a little moisture. The advice below is best:Only if there is an existing humidity problem That needs to be addressed.

Yup, just get a very long piece of flexible ducting and route it all the way to the vent and you'll be fine.Yea good idea, thanks, I am going to go into attic and run more ducting to a big vent to the outside thats up there.
