I been thinking hard on this. I decided to exhaust in my room first. An see how it works out. I bought a breath mask to keep me from breathing in the carbon filter odorizer smell. It's a strong smell to bear. An if this doesn't work for me. I will exhaust out the window. Without intake shouldn't be problem to build.

I need help filling a small gap. This wood is slightly too short. I need something that will deflect rain too. Pic 1 is cut I made. Pic 2 is front side of wood I put trash bag to deflect rain an prevent wood rotting pic 3 is back side how it will look from window outside view. Although I put duct tape to hold flaps on trash bag
I got a question, what im worried about is would my inline fan sucking the air from my grow tent. Because, my grow tent has a passive intake. The fresh air flowing in the intake of the tent air is coming from my room. That gets cooled by a central Cooling/heating system. Through floor vents will keep running constantly. if my room doesn't cool off. Thats what runs up electric bill high. If the cool air is getting exhausted out the window constantly. when the 4 inch inline fan is running inside the tent. Same with heating concept. Can you understand what im saying? Do you know anyone that knows more about this issue? Or I can close the vent and close the door. Creating a enclosed room with just a oscillating fan. To keep the room cool outside tent. Will this be my best option?
Ohhhhhhh o.k. I understand what your saying now. I need another inline fan to pull air in my room??? I got to really think about how I can do this

You only need one fan. The exhaust fan pumping air out of your tent to the outdoors will create a vacuum in the tent and subsequently in the room the tent is in if the room is sealed to the rest of the house. Where you allow that makeup air into the room is what you need to decide on. If you leave the floor register to your HVAC open you will pull air from the entire house. If you close that floor register you need to make an opening in the window plywood to allow air from the outside to come in. You may want to do a combination of the two to help control the temperature of the room?
Yeah I was thinking about a passive intake ducting running to my intake window. Sucking the air from outside my window flowing to my tent. The exhaust will suck it out. Great idea thanks alot
I got this black vent to cover up my hole outside the wood's hole. An a 90 duct elbow and some metal mesh screens to keep bugs from getting in my window. But let airflow pass out. Still need to buy more ducting to reach my window and another elbow and another vent.
