I could use split air conditioner but might look a bit suspicious to FLIR, what's your ideas?
I'm running a 1:10 scale model of what you describe, but with T5 fluorescents instead of LED. Tent's 3x3x6 with 200 watts of tubes. I just wanted to address the venting. I've got my tent set up in a closet. Intake is the room where the closet is and outtake is the next room over. I'm basically moving air from one room to another, but through the tent in the closet -- no reason this wouldn't scale to a bigger tent. Everything is piped between the tent and walls, so the closet itself gets no airflow -- just the tent. Charcoal filter inside the tent and one fan on the outtake side. No problems with smell. So far the only complaint I have is the fan noise. It's not horrible or anything, but it's noticeable. Fan's a 4" CanFan -- it moves a lot of air. If you run a 9x9x6 tent, it's going to take a lot of air!
