So my tent sits directly under an air return duct in the basement… I keep thinking: how bad of an idea is it to connect the two? Before you get too nervous let me explain, I’m talking no forced air in the tent aside from the HVAC fan. So very little concern of blowing into the furnace. The return duct goes to the three returns in the rooms above, which is fine. Except come flower time, and my eventual flower tent will make this more simple, the smell. Plant smell is fine, but full on flowering smell no way. A carbon filter would be put on the exhaust for that period, and eventually with a second tent I don’t need to worry about switching.
Either way, fresh air would be pulled through the tent for 15 mins every hour, that is the HVAC fan schedule, and would intake air in through the vents at the bottom of the tent, I thought about intake from the HVAC but then I realized how hot the tent would get every time the furnace runs…
Oh, importantly, I plan to run the light with an inline fan, the hood is nicely sealed, so it should just vent off the heat and not put much I to the tent?
