I'm a newbie and am beginning an attic grow. One of my biggest concerns is ventilation for both heat and odor. My plan is to run a 400 watt ventable light. I've so far sealed off the section I will be growing in and have a roof vent real close to my ceiling.

So my idea is; to run a carbon scrubber, inline fan, ventilated hood all ducted together to exit out the roof vent. Thinking that this will solve both heat and odor problems. The part I'm not sure on how to make work the best is the intake into the grow section (and the sequence of the components).

The best idea I've came up with is to duct in from the other roof vent on the opposite side of the attic.

I would really like to avoid cutting a hole in the ceiling for an intake. My access hole is the only other thought I have besides cutting.. and would like to avoid having that open all the time. Would kinda make the whole secretive attic operation pretty obvious.

Thoughts on this? Anyone done a setup like this?
