Thanks. Took a few different paths along the way- probably shouldn't have tried to do so much right after moving. Lol. But it's slowly coming together.

the reason i ask is you don't intake and exhaust on the top of the tent, correct? exhaust is at bottom, correct?

Here’s the top half of the tent. You can see I exhaust from the top. I have a large fan on the floor blowing and then one over the canopy.
Yes having two of the intakes at the top isn’t ideal but it’s what I’ve got to work with. The third intake, once again, exhausts the veg tent and enters the flower tent at the bottom. Temps stay consistent.

finally got around to moving my exhaust fan outside of the tent. did not take pics yet and it's not fancy, but it is effective and created another foot of headroom

i was just reading about that and i guess the carbon filter is designed to sit in front of exhaust fan and pull air through it.

i also just read people use them the opposite direction which still helps smell, but without the pre-filter in play the carbon loses its capabilities sooner.

i really can go filter or no-filter with my grow location, so i'm gonna try it outside the tent and pushing air through it. will upgrade to an inline later.

I have a filter and I keep it sitting on the ground beside my tent with the fan directly attached to it, only ducting from the top of my tent down to the fan.
I have a 720cfm 8 inch inline fan though so it's powerful enough to do this.
You lose ducting efficiency when you push air VS pulling it which is why pulling air is preferred.
