Ive got a decent size room, i have to use a heater because its cold around this time and i have a 6 in carbon filter and its going into the veg room which is in the same room. where do i put the outlet of the carbon filter so that i maximize keeping heat granted it can only be a short term solution.

Do you run air cooled hoods? Also are you planning on piping exhaust outside?

My room vents outside and gets cold as well this time of year. I need to keep a negative pressure in my room to keep the smells locked into the room so I vent through carbon filter then air hoods then outside. During cold times I partially disconnect the exhaust line so that 50% of the air goes outside and 50% stays in the room keeping it warm and at the same time I keep a negative pressure........works great

I run led's so i dont use it for anything else, id like to vent it outside i just feel like thats sucking all the heat out of the room and just making my heater have to come on more often.
