Best way to exhaust a 10x20 grow tent

    I am still debating whether or not I do one 10x20 grow tent or two 10x10 grow tents. Each light will cover a 4x4 and have 9~ or so plants. I have 8 of the HLG 550 v2 quantum boards. I WILL NOT be running co2 in a grow tent.
    I am trying to figure out the best way to scrub the air and vent the 10x20 grow tent so my neighbors dont smell it. Here are my questions!

    Would I need an intake fan or just a passive intake with an exhaust would be fine?

    Since the tent is so big do you think I would need a standalone carbon scrubber in the tent on top of the one used in the exhaust system?

    If I go the 10x20 route since the tent is so big would you recommend putting an actual AC unit inside the tent? I feel like if I went 2 10x10s could avoid putting an AC inside each tent and just cool the room they are in, but I dont know if a 10x20 would be too big to passively cool?

    Also if I get like a dual duct portable AC for the 10x20 tent, wont it exhaust stinky air outside the tent that I would have to scrub too?

    Any A/C you get will have to be exhausted out of a window. The cheapest route to take would be to get a window A/C unit....I’d go with a 10,000 BTU. That should be sufficient.

    If it was me, I’d split it into 10 x 10 partitions. That way you can establish a perpetual grow and have separate veg and flower areas.

    What size is the room you’re putting this in?

    I am putting it in a living room. Thats why I can do a 10x20 or two 10x10s. A month or two in I will buy another tent, like a 10x10 and use that for my veg. I was looking at a double duct portable air conditioner to throw inside the tent if I went that route. It would exhaust the warm air outside the tent. Is it better to buy a double duct ac and throw it into the tent or just cool down the room the tent is in?

    Mini split AC, no air exchange from inside to outside.
