Unfortunately not. you are missing two things in my experience the set up of the actual filter and fan is perfect though you need an exhaust to the outside other wise you are just pumping the warm out the tent and into the room when it needs to go outside hot air out and then the 2nd problem you need cold air in which means you need to find a place again outdoors to pull air from and pump into your tent. without this your plants wont get enough oxygen also the smell will compleatly engulf that room if you are not pumping the air somewhere Usually growers will use a loft hatch or a window or in some cases you need to use a hole saw to actully drill into the dry wall and create and fresh air intake that way. i personally use a loft hatch to exchange air. Hope this helps Im not sayign you cant do it without a cold air intake it just will effect your plants in a negative way not having a constant source of fresh oxygen especially in soil pots.

To make it sound less like rocket science. Turn your fan around, and put your exhaust tube trough a vent in the wall, out a window or something to get the hot and humid air out of the room that your tent is in. Happy growing 🌱

If the idea was that air comes in from outside, passes through the filter, and the scent of weed fills your entire room - then everything is set up correctly. I see that the arrow on the fan points towards the filter. If you turn the fan around, it will create a push; the fan's power will create excess pressure inside the box and the smells won't fill the room, as the filtered air will exit through the duct (of course, it will be harder to detect your plants if you're using a filter). I suggest just changing the direction of the air by repositioning the fan so that the arrow points from the filter towards the duct. But this is on the condition that the air in your room is relatively "fresh," not warmer than 22-23 degrees Celsius.
