You guys talk about air circulation inside the tent? I mean inside the tent is the most important from what I know. Outside the tent why you need circulation, the outside of the tent is just to hold the hot air while the AC is doing it's thing. Or I'm wrong? I have a Dehumidifier if it get to humid.

You don't need circulation. You need ventilation.

So why isn't cutting into the ceiling an option out of curiosity? It's not like the board on your ceiling is also the floor of the people above you. There's some space in there lol
Yeah, there's nobody living above. But Ceiling Holes are a pain in the ass with the rain and that shit. Also my house is old and the walls and ceilings are HARD as fuck. Hard like stones.

Rain? You're not sticking it out of the roof, you're jut poking it above the ceiling. Like an inch or so and just seal between the hose and the ceiling.

I mean why I need ventilation if inside the room i will have AC unit and dehumidifier. Co2 Is better to keep it in a sealed room, so why i need ventilation outside the tent?

If he doesn't own the place cutting holes in the place may not be wise.

Moving the same air around the room is just circulation. you need fresh air coming in and old air going out for it to be ventilation. Scribbler explained it earlier.

Running the exhaust into the same room is only going to make it that much hotter and it's gunna reeeek. Exhausted air is used/spent/humid air and pulling that back through your tent as fresh air isn't ideal at all.

Very true. My thought on it was that if your plants came through like they were supposed to then when you're ready to take everything down you'll have no problem paying for the supplies needed to fix the ceiling real quick.
Unless you got busted...in which case who cares about the hole in the ceiling?

If you don't vent/cycle whatever the air it becomes stagnant and bleh. Sure you vent out but you also need air coming in. Your AC is just cooling air already in the room, no? I'm not sure how those AC's work I guess. Either way an AC isn't going to "refreshen" the air for your plants it's just going to make it colder.

Nah man.
Get a portable air conditioner, no hole needed.
You only need one hole for the duct hose going out from the inline fan.
You'll have a regular fan blowing in fresh air (from the room) into the bottom of the tent.
You'll have your inline fan blowing from the top of your tent into a duct hose that leads to I'm guessing the ceiling.
You'll have the air conditioner blowing when needed to keep the ideal temperature.

Portable air conditioners can be a bit pricey
http://www.homedepot.com/b/Heating-Venting-Cooling-Air-Conditioners-Coolers-Air-Conditioners-Portable-Air-Conditioners/N-5yc1vZc4m4Z2bcqfk
If you have the money, by all means go ahead and get one new.
If you don't, I wouldn't see anything wrong with buying a used one that works good. It's not hard to tell whether it's going to work or not when all you have to do is simply plug it in before you buy it.

I'm also planning on trying to find a good used inline fan.
My carbon filter will of course be new.
I'll also be getting a used regular fan (to draw fresh air into my room)

Just some quick advice though...that may be obvious for some but not for others.
IF you do decide to go with a MH and HPS bulb make sure to get a good ballast.
The last thing you want is to get some cheap setup like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/250w-HPS-MH-Grow-Light-Kit-Dimmable-Digital-Ballast-27x18-Adjust-Wing-Reflector-/381429074832?hash=item58cef1cb90&rmvSB=true
Galaxy is a good brand, they're the one I'll probably be going with. And remember how I said something earlier in my first post about having a ballast that switches wats? Make sure you have the right ballast for the right light.
Do not try to stick a 1000W light bulb in a 600W ballast.
Again, this is probably obvious but I'd hate to have your next post be about how you caught your apartment on fire...if we had the chance to hear about it.

So I don't need an exhaust fan in the room?
Let me get this straight. I will grow in a tent that will be inside the room.
The tent will have a passive air in hole and an exhaust fan with a carbon filter attach. That exhaust fan will expel all the used/stale air out into the ROOM. Then how the room will expel that used air out of the room? Will I also need to have a exhaust fan in the room for doing that? And a Inline fan for injecting new air into the room? And then how the air condition will cool with all the Air exchange happening?
I just don't get it.
