no air he ran a tee connector off the main ac just like bathrooms are done to the closet and the cut a hole out the Ceiling on the other side for the exhaust fan tube to exhaust in the attic. Also have intake on the bottom of the door as well. A/c to help keep room cool with the heat here

It's not good to just exhaust into the attic. You can get mold that way. You want to exhaust it outside. I ran mine to a gable vent in my attic.

If you do it I hope it's your own place, and you're not gonna start a mold factory in someone else's attic that you're renting from.

Oh and if you're going through the attic make sure to use insulated ducting.

It's because of condensation in case you were curious. Think of a can of soda. You know how it sweats and condensation collects on the outside of the can. Well it's backwards in this situation and the condensation collects on the inside of the ducting.

Nah I keep my grow completely out of my house for that reason. But I am pretty sure attics are vented to atmosphere. You are right though safer to go's straight outside.

I know. It's something a lot of people wouldn't think of. I never would have thought about the insulated ducting.
I had a bunch of old space blankets, you know the myler stuff that crinkles a lot, so I duct tape them around the various tubing that I wanted to insulate.
They cost a buck for 6 ft of tubes worth of insulation.
