Ok have a 10x10 room 5x6x7 flower room 1 6inch exhaust 2 6inch passive intakes at bottom as in picture
( room is light proof and air can only enter the 2 6inch holes).
I am using a 430cfm fan connected to carbon scrubber at ceiling high. to sun system xxl magnum air cooled hood with glass on . Then out of room.

Ok now problem is this I have heat in veg room and ac in veg room was hoping to pull air from veg to flower then out but flower room will not stay temp as in veg room. Only way I got to rise some was placing heater right in front of vent to flower room. Like yesterday was 77 high and 64 low but its been warm where I live and going to freeze tonight. LIghts out temp drops like crazy Need a way to fix this as plants are close to flip to flower.
Heres pics so u can see what I'm working with

I've been running my dehumidifier inside of my flower room at night and my temps have stay locked at 75 since I started doing that. Room has same 600 as you along with two as 315's. also sounds like we are running the same ventilation system. I have my veg area going with 250 cfm in and 250 out to a "lung" room and that feeds the flower area through a hepa filters on the intakes. I live in a pretty cold state also and I found if I keep the main house temp up a degree on colder nights the furnace runs a little more often to bring the ambient wall temps up which keeps the basement a few degrees warmer. Hope this helps

You could put a fan on your hood, exhausting into the room, and use your scrubber separately. Your scrubber will pull more air, slow it down to leave warm air inside & it's less noisey! Lights on at night helps a lot too.

What about running the light schedules opposite of eachother. Pull air from the room with the lights on into the other room. You could also run both rooms at night because the lights will surely keep your room warmer.

Heres pics so u can see what I'm working with
hey man ......simple and fun well for me it is fun

1 your plants on the buckets......take them off the buckets
1a the ground u lay down 1 or 2 inch foam board whole floor (it seals the floor off keeps heat longer and also lowers the plants do into richer CO2 air)
1b if u want u can take some extra and make a 3 or 4 inch lip around the whole thing then cut a piece of polywrap make a water proof liner
1c u can also get some panda film or the silver version (not IR block u will pop the bubbles walking on it) ...lay that down so u get defused light hitting from all sides

2 the walls ........u want IR blocker ......this is mylar with bubble wrap in the center it makes a thermal barrier .....in short the room retains heat longer and the outside evo can not thermal energy transfer (the stuff is ment for IR blocking the cops so the piggy choppers can not see ) ....it has a 98% retention ......just do not pop the bubbles the little air barrier in there is what keeps it from transferring
2a ....by putting this on your walls u are going to get a greater light delusion in your area (more power from reflected back energy)

3 u are heating the whole area ...........this is my idea for u
3a use a pro pain heater unit ......this is tricky but if u use a burner unit to add heat it adds CO2 but since u are working in the same air path veggie and flowering u can only use this heat for 12 hours then u would need to switch over to a electrical one (but that is good too as it will help DRY the air out making the dehumidifier run less )
3b at night time u do not need as much air as u got passing right now so u could slow the amount u are moving ....keeping the build up heat for longer

4 .....the temps dipping like they are is a good thing u want some play (indoor u are trying to mimic the best possible out door day as many times as possible for the plant to get it to do it's best for u ) the temp flux is natural and it helps to pull hues and colors into the flower(bud) ......if u keep it a steady 10 degree flux u will always have green looking buds

redneck fix low cost .......hang blankets on the walll and put blankets and towels down on the ground to keep that coldness locked down

Confine your grow in to a tent ive noticed that my tent retains heat well even after the girls have gone 2 bed. Theres many tents to fit the specs of that corner. Hope this helped.
