New filter set up

I like your setup. There are varying opinions on the forum about where a carbon filter should be mounted, inside or outside the tent. When using exhaust fans, there are only two options, positive or negative pressure. Blowing out will suck the suck in the sides of your tent, blowing in will expand it like a balloon. Two filters might be a bit of overkill for one plant. I use an AC Infinity 4" fan in my 2x4 tent. It runs at 1/2 speed and keeps the lung room scrubbed. Where does your exhaust go? Into the lung room?

But why are you filtering the air from your bedroom before sending it to your tent? That will actually warm up the air you were having temperature issues with.
And what golfnrl was alluding to, that is way more supply-and-return than you need. But I would say two is too much for the tent, not just one plant.

its to restrictive and not cost effective. this is a weed that is use to growing outside. nature will filter the air for it. Filters are for so humans that dont like the smell or to mask the smell from other humans like nosey fukin neighbors or po po. personally i like the smell cannabis in the morning, smells like Victory.

The plants need fresh air. How is your lung room ventilated? Does it get fresh air? Is it it's own HVAC zone? If it's somewhat closed then you are filtering used air and putting it back into your tent. Forget the Co2, that's another unnecessary expense.
There's nothing 'wrong' per say about your setup. If that's what you want to do, it's your grow. However, you've incurred some needless expense for little to no benefit for your plants. Indoors, inside a tent the purpose of the filter is to limit the smells. That's it. It's not to provide 'clean' air. You want the air inside the tent to have an exchange with fresh air outside the tent, the exhaust fan does that. You can have an exchange of air w/o the filter.
