twenty feet is quite a stretch. Are there any other options, like into another room, an attic, or even a wall will do. good luck:joint::joint:

attic space bro all the way...do not vent into your walls...that is a basically stupid idea. If you know anything about wall construction you would know that each bay is self contained....it's a fuckin box with nowhere for the air to go. if you have an attic simply cut a hole in the ceiling and stick some flex up there. you obviously will need a blower fan...dont vent into your wall....lol..thats funny :blsmoke:

its actually a pretty good place for the scale im doing so ill risk it. that exhaust is giving me the only problem. i would vent into the house but im not sure if that would just make a bigger problem

It would also be an idea that, instead of running the ducting across the floor, pin it to the ceiling..

You're less likely to notice it that way i guess..

be a smart stoner and do it stealthily youre in an apartm ent so dont do any damage you are unprepared to fix run dcting along ceiling to whatever window you need get a level a stud finder a how to guide off the internet and put up a drop ceiling to conceal ducting through main thouroughfares keep your tracks covered and yes carbon filters work wonders make sure the ventilation tract from your room is airtight your room itself is airtight and for your intake go to lowes in the ventilation aisle they have a vent plug that fits 4" 6" and 8" ventilation holes that is spring loaded so when your exaust kicks on it opens and pulls air in but when the exhaust cuts off the spring holds ot shut tight and you should bee alright youre gonna need more fans to carry the air 20' though good luck

running ducts through your apartement = asking to get busted

if your worried about smell just get a carbon scrubber

if your worried about heat just vent into the apartement and run your a/c

I would get a carbon filter with an exhaust fan and do a much smaller grow, which will make alot less smell and the carbon filter should cover all the smell then.

Right! at first I was like damn thats a great idea. Then I was like, a drop ceiling WOW, yeah thats quite a project to keep on the DownlOE. The suggestion to get a carbon filter and just run your AC sounds like the best one so far. let us know dude..! :joint::joint:
