How would you set this up?

[Fraggle Rock]

I have a bedroom with 2 tents, one for grow and bloom...I started with just the bloom tent and used an air cooled light with an 8" fan to exhaust the air into the attic....for now I have been using passive intake. Everything has been fine. I added my grow tent today. I'm using an 8 bulb 4' T5 - Crazy hot inside this tent with this light...Do you think it would be better to use a fan to exhaust the air from the grow tent to the bedroom? Or exhaust the air directly into the bloom tent and let the 8" fan take care of it? I guess the other option is to get a "Y" for the ducting and do it that way....I'm open to any options here if someone has had similar experience in the past!! Thanks everyone!!

all heat out = good.
vent the heat from your new veg tent into the attic, same as with the bloom tent.
if you have to use a y split that'll do, but each tent with it's own dedicated exhaust would be better. if you port the heat from veg through the aircooled light in bloom you'll burn out your bulbs faster and the aircooling will be less effective.
what about intake?

I'm not sure what I'm going to do for an official intake air supply...right now I have some passive vents that just pull ambient air from the room, which sucks it in from every little crack...So now I have this other tent and I need to keep it cool and fresh...So for right now the best thing is to run a y split and get that air from the veg tent out with the bloom air...I know I am going to need to add some more fans to this setup, just waiting on funding

Any thoughts on how I could supply an official air intake to the bedroom and/or tents? I need to remain stealth for the most part...Thanks again for the advice!!!

windows, walls, floor or door.
those are your options in a house for intake.
lower down is better because hot air rises, but you need to make the best of what's available.
depending on how strong your 8" fan is and the wattage of the bulb in your bloom tent you could potentially use the fan to vent both tents.
something like this:
::::::::: damper --- aircooled hood ----- exhaust 2 attic
:: fan -y-|
::::::::: damper --- veg tent ---- exhaust 2 attic

Thanks again for the advice, I'm going to take care of this today....I actually have a booster fan, so I will use that to assist in the exhaust from the veg tent...
