Nice schematic CraZy and appreciate the open swedish window and where your laptop is located
Haha I knew you would! Thx Kismet!

Nice schematic! My question is related to the gap between the walls where the hot air will vent. Is there enough depth to accommodate the CFM of the fan? It seems tight to be able to exchange air fast enough.

I don't know if you are referring to intake or exhaust? I haven't done any math on this it's just tests I done in the other grow space. I used this space in the wall in that setup as well.
Btw the fan I use is a 6" 70W industrial fan. It's got loads of CFM and Q.
I know I'm going to get clowned for saying this but... Man Crazy your holes are so perfectly smooth and round! I just love the holes man. LOL 
If I'm looking at it correctly, you are taking air from a wide open space (tent) and forcefully pushing it into a narrow space (wall gap). That seems like it would be inefficient at best, and at worst put a strain on the fan motor.
Well it would depend on how wide he makes the gap. It needs to at least equal the total output diameter of the 2 exhausts put together.
Not just the size of the gap but the ability of the air to escape the gap at the rate at which it enters!

I will make you guys another chart I believe....
The air that enters the tents is sucked through equal amount of false wall and as the air is pushed out of the false wall. I don't run the fan on full steam. I have a variable transformer that has five volt settings and I usually run it on third setting to keep the strain on it down.

If the sound of the motor doesn't change when you open the tent then that means it isn't straining, true?

Sure, but a fan motor is strained as soon as you mount a filter to it or a hose...
I'm not sure this gives you the answer you want but its a try. I'm sure there are a lot of formulas I'm disregarding about airflow but I don't care. I'm positive it will work but I hope I get the effect I'm after, and that's stealth.
Forgot the gap between the boards in the false wall and the dry wall is 1"

Thx R! But it's not done by free hand. I use a 120mm hole saw.
Airy and stylish! Now if you could just trim those ends straight...

Haha, I was just waiting for that...
But one thing surprise me and that is that no one noticed that the boards on this wall is actually 5mm wider than the ones on the wall next to it in corner. It doesn't show until a few boards down from roof. Then the displacement is clearly visible. I hadn't the strength to cut them all 5mm with the table saw.
The other wall I put up just when we bought the apartment, they are 90mm wide. When I bought the boards for the new wall the lumberyard didn't have these in stock and had to be ordered...... I don't give a crap about it but I know it shows...
Stylistic choice! Makes the left wall look taller .

If I ever have a great day in the future I could take them down and cut them but I doubt it.
I'm very exited to get this room running asap... Got the last electrics I need, cable and boxes. Need to drill a 13mm hole through a concrete wall to get the power feed inside the closet. I'm taking this from the room next to this. Then the move can take place.
If I have a good weekend with pains I will probably get this done tomorrow otherwise I will get the help on Monday.

Oh I know. It is just nice to see good craftsmanship that's all.

Ahhh I see. You're venting "through" the wall. Like literally. LOL Well that will certainly help to heat that room in the fall and early spring. Nice stealth Crazy.
Don't worry about it Crazy. It gives it a umm, what's that word?
RUSTIC! yeah it gives it that rustic look!
