Hello everyone, I have a slightly unusual situation with my ventilation, and I'd appreciate someone checking my math on this.

I am growing in a 4x2x7 Tent, but I need to run my ducting for about 30 ft with at least 2 bends to reach a window. I accidentally fell down a rabbit hole tonight of how often ducting is installed incorrectly, so I don't want to mess this up.

My tent should require a baseline of 56 CFM. With a carbon filter and grow lights, gives us a required CFM of 135. Now the tricky part is figuring out how inefficient my ducting will be. If there are 2 bends, that would be about 345 CFM.

Will the 6" AC infinity Cloudline have enough power to push this? They're rated for about 400 CFM, but I'm worried that my ducting is too long.

I would check the end of your exhaust to see how strong the breeze is. If you think you need more power, add a booster.
