    i havent used a cooltube b4 so cant really say but its not a problem to have the cf on the outside of the tent/box and blow through it rather than suck
    so it would be...... intake ducting-cootube-extraction ducting-fan-carbon filter- if that doesnt make sense ask and ill try explianing it a different way #

    i wasnt thinking of intake ducting i hought cos of the size and 2 vents at the bottom if the fan was sucking away it would sort itself out tent is near a window that is open more that shut so i thought it would sorta be passive ?

    no i went on bad advice in a shop fella told me id need a cooltube if getting a fan.
    i thought id have to have the ducting attached to one side of the cooltube going out of the tent connected to the fan but i cant see where i fit the filter in

    If your running a cool tube you should be running cool air through it from the outside of your grow room. You don't want to be sucking in hot air from the inside of your tent through your cool tube. You can stick the CF on the outside of the tent with air pushing through it but if there are any leaks before the filter it will let stinky air out. If you pull air threw the filter any leaks or bad seals will suck air in. This will reduce any extra smells making sure any air from your grow will be filtered. If your going to filter your air suck air threw your filter otherwise you will chance having a smell anyway.

    Why don't you put pics up of what you got so we can see what your working with.

    look at this...as far as i know thats how a cooltube is set up

    now the plants will still need fresh air....how do you plan to give it to them?
    if i were you man id just read up a bit and find out what i really need then take it back if u need to and go from there?
