Do you mean hard galvanized ducting compared to flex duct that insulated if so you will get better airflow than flex,flex can be restrictive if long runs or alot of bends,you will probably hear the air more in the galvanized the flex slows down the air so it dampens sound some,if you are pulling outside air that is cold you will get condensation on duct that not insulated just a heads up hope that helps someI have a few questions about galvanized ducting, as I have never used it before
Will it increase cfm?
Is it loud?
Will it effect temps vs insulated?
Hydrofarm doesn't carry the stuff so it got me worried theirs a downside I'm not thinking of
I'm going to have 6 raptors packed in together on a 25 ft run(18ft of raptors)
The lights will be pulling air from the room through a carbon filter. Will the condensation still be a issue?
Thats what I've always done but really wanna get a crazy air exchange going to take advantage of these winter tempsIf those hoods are pulling enough air from the room to keep them cool, your problems will be those of trying to maintain environmental control. Pull from outside the room and seal as best you can, that's how you'll get the best benefit.

the only problem im having with bringing in cold winter Air directly to the grow.. is condensation.. and let me tell u . I wouldn't feel safe hooking it up to my lights unless it went threw something first that could catch all the condensation because I feel like it will cause an issue at somepoint.. but who knows.
I personally don't like to do runs of more than 5 lights on one fan, you'll either start seeing inconsist temps from one light to the next or you'll pull too much air over the bulbs making them too cool to operate at peak efficiency.
