It's a trim bin.. and yes that's a screen ... It works lovely and it pays for itself after a run

I didn't quite understand what you were trying to explain in the pm can you maybe try to explain it again?

Ok I understand but I still can't do that because my closet that the tent is in is only about 6" wider on each side than the tent and there are no intake/exhaust holes in the front only on top and the sides, I have all the passive intake holes opened up by a 1ft piece of 6" duct and I have a mesh intake flap that is completely open.
I just realized that my speed controller was turned to medium so I just turned it to high and I am still running the light at 50%, I reset my digital thermometer and I will check the internal temps in 1hr if I look good on my temps then I will try 75% for 1hr if I am still good I will try 100% and hopefully get to use full power.

I'm skipping 50% and going for 75% if that doesn't work I will back it down to 50%.

Hang your fan inside the tent and the ducting should be 6 inches wide so that should accommodate the loop from the top around into the side and try to get the hot air out of the closet

Thanks for all your great advise so far I hate to keep telling you that your ideas won't work but I don't have enough room to put that big ass fan in the grow tent when I get into flower and my light is raised to the top of the tent my reflector will take up 80% of the space.

On top of the tent on its side? Duct to fan..duct loop around?

Or sit the fan on the filter and have it blowing out through the light

How is the Critical Kush and Cheese in 85+ temps.

I thought about that but I would have to seal my room completely up for it to be efficient and that just isn't a option, I dimmed the ballast back to 50% and it is back down to 82 degrees. I just wish I could run it a full power, my yield will suffer due to not being able to run at 100%

So as you can see my options are limited. I don't see why there is such a huge difference in heat from 50% to 75% I can maintain 78 degrees at 50% but at 75% it exceeds 85 degrees and full power goes over 90+

Where is your hot air being sent? You are exhausting your tent and venting your hood...but if you are in a closet and that air isn't being exchanged its like a re-circulating oven...the light heats it up..and the pressure from the exhaust fan on the filter pulls that hot air in

The air is being exhausted into my bedroom and my bedroom stays around 71-72 degrees all the intake air is cool air. The weird thing is the air coming from exhausting my hood is now hot but slightly warm. Will the light rays effect the digital thermometer or is it really getting that hot?

Btw thank you for taking the time to help me figure out this dilemma.
