I have a 6' square area that is about 6 feet tall for my grow room. I have a air cooled 600 watt hps/mh light. The grow room is located in my garage which has no ceiling and thus is exposed to the attic as well. I will be sealing my grow room off with a set of doors on the front much like a closet or something. The salesman at the local hydro store told me that the best solution is to run air ducting and a fan to the light hood and close it off from the circulation of the grow room but I was hoping to draw air in from one side of the reflector from the grow room. Then put a intake port at the bottom of my room. The idea here is that the fan connected to the duct would suck air through my grow room and into the attic and then finally into a scrubber. The salesman almost laughed at me. He thinks I should put a dedicated duct and fan going into and out of the attic for the light source. Then put a fan and a carbon scrubber in the room and not connect it to anything. The scrubber would just recirculate the air in the room and scrub it. If I do this I would still need an intake and exhaust port for the plants to get fresh air but then I start to lose my ability to control temperature. Since the grow room is in the garage it wont have direct temp control but there are ways around that such as using heat from the light source. I'm pretty confused on how to run the proper ducting for the light as well as the room as well as scrub the air! If I absolutely had too, I could figure a way to suck fresh air from the house into the grow room. Any ideas?
