No I mean flaps down by the bottom so fresh air comes through. Also imo your going to need a bigger fan to keep down odors when in bloom.

totally agree! Just let them be the soil is enough at this point

Ok I got 2 6" intakes in the bottom of each room and in the door going into the room that the rooms are in has 2 16×20 cold air intake with 1" heppa filters in them
Dankman makes a great point about flowering smells.
Just a idea. You could veg in (1) 4x4 and flower in the other (2) 4x4
If you have that rotation, you would need to buy 1 carb and 1 inline fan since you already have a set. Well worth the money if you're in that much space.
I wouldn't worry about the veg tent- good light and oscillate fan that's all you need. Just open the flaps at the bottom of the tent.

I have a 4" inline with carbon filter would that work?

For my 4'x8'x71" cube tent I use a 6" carbon filter pipped to a 8" fan with a speed controller. If smells are not a issue I slow it down. Some strains are extra smelly then I just speed it up

It might you'll have to try it and see. Is smell a big issue for you? It's not for some people
It's a good starting point but for a 4x4 you would need at least a 6inch when those girls stink.
"Mountain Air" has been the only carb that works for me. Little pricey, but when you are in my world. Odor control is priceless.

Well odor is not to big of issue I live in MI and have med card so I'm legally. I live in the country on 40 acres so no one comes around but air flow is important so we'll see right now air is flowing great

I really like your fan/pipeing set up! Air exchange is key to healthy plants. It also helps keep bugs away imo. Stagnant air is a calling card for them

Duggan wanted me to button up my tent so no light leaks but the carbon filter fan combo even on the lowest setting sucks the sides of the tent in so much it knocks my fans off and the sides of the tent sucks Way in so I have to open a flap on the bottom and even then it really sucks the sides in. I have to keep odors down, My wife Hates the smell and has threatened to throw me the tent plants and all out if it smells. I have to keep at least one of the bottom flaps open for fresh air supply. By the way I have a Can 33 filter and it is doing a Great job so far. I would recommend a Can filter to anyone in need of a good carbon filter.

Yes in my flower tent I have a 6" pole fan and a 10" oscillating fan going with the 2 6" intakes and the 6" exhaust I hope that works

I've got a 1" thick furnace filter blocking derbies from coming in and I've got tent placed in corner so I can put stuff around it to block light out. I've also used a cardboard box attached to the tent with holes to help block out light

I put 6" flex line out the bottom holes snaked them so light couldn't come in and put pantyhose over the end so dust couldn't come in
if doing multiple room within room (tent), you can run a small inlet and outlet fan, for intake / exhaust, from each tent to the main room. the main room ( called a lung room ), is then scrubbed and exhausted to the exterior. the lung room will have some odour. but not so bad as you'd think. lung room needs fresh air from an outside source, whether interior or exterior.
it will take pressure off the tents and even temps etc.
seen three 8 x 8 rooms in a single space run this way. was pretty cool how it was all set up.

I feel you brother on the wifey about the smell of weed.
I open all my bottom flaps but I'm pushing air out of my tent into the carb. My carb is outside my tent and works pretty good that way. Keeping my flaps closed will get too hot for my situation.

I leave a flap completely open on each tent with a filter attached. They are rh regulated by a 70 point dehumidifier free standing in the middle of the room. It's a basement which I extremely recommend. My tents stay cool in summer of you are running leds
damn.. another drive by tip
phresh filters.
they are a little different build, and some of their models can't be recharged, but they solved a few odour issues. there are other good filters out there as well.
