I can put this in a closet and have good access, and stealth. Here is the initial idea:
4' x 4' x 7'11" Gorilla tent
4 plants in pots, maybe some kind of SOG with each being it's own 2' x 2' made from PVC, that moves with the pot (someone here on ICMag invented that, and I need to find that thread). Veg and flower in the same tent. I can't see any reason not to want as tall a tent as I can fit under the ceiling, ie 7'11".
Filter inside the tent, located close over the LED power supply, 6 inch adjustable controlling fan ( AC S6 has a 400 CFM), 3000 watt adjustable LED. I will get instrumentation and watch the humidity and CO2, and hope it is OK. Air inside is 68-72*F. Air outlet can be to outside or better yet under the house, where smell/sound is no problem. I see a few 90* bends possibly. What kind of ducting is best?
Using a 20"x20" filter element has been discussed, mostly for mold. Has anybody put one to practical use for the inlet return air (air into the tent)? Maybe some kind of box that transitions to a 6" or 8" duct to go onto the tent. This is key for my place, if I want the air inside the tent to have a chance of being clean. Air inlet may be the biggest problem, unless only one side opening at the bottom is sufficient to flow enough air.
I like the idea of a rubber pad on the floor under the tent.
How many errors in my thinking? Suggestions?
Looking at a carbon filter, I see these can be bought with "protection plan". How often do they need changing (flower cycles)?
Edit: Does buying a protection plan involve sending in the old stinking to high heaven filter? LOL. If not, a new filter every so often would probably be a good idea.

The 4 piece individual SCROG idea allows easier access to the rear plants, by moving the front ones out. Yielding 200-300 gr each would be fine.
What would be a good watering system?
