high temp problem

[Cre5cendo]

Hey everybody, I am a newbie to set up a grow tent.
Recently the air temperature of my tent raised to a really high level, coz outside temp is above 35C (about 95F)
Air in my tent is 34-36C　with humidity of 58%. Even that didn't cause bad things happen to my plants, I think maybe I should do something to help.
So I put a bottle of ice bags into the tent. That helps.
I just wonder if not those ice bags, what could I do to help them?
Upgrade my fans? My tent is 80*80*160 size(2.6*2.6*5), my fan is about 120cfm. I think the fan is strong enough.

That's a tough one. You need to run AC indoors to keep ambient temps low.
Run lights at night when temps are cooler.
At night pull air from outside (from a window) into the tent and then dump the hot air into another room through a wall or into an attic etc..
High humidity will hurt your grow at some point.

You only need to post the same question once..

If the outside temperature is 95 then that's what temperature the air coming in is going to be. Upgrading your fan won't do anything. A portable air conditioner is what I use during the summer months. It takes up some space but I can keep it around 80F on the few days it gets 100F where I am at. Your tent might be too small for that option though. This isn't the one I have but it's one of the smallest. They work great and dehumidify the air as well.

The best thing to do is exhaust out the house. Dumping in another room still raises ambient temps.

Your tent temperature isn't far above your ambient temperature, so I'd agree that an upgrade to your exhaust fan wouldn't help.
You need to air condition your room, bringing the ambient temp down

Everyone here hit the nail on the head so to speak all the fan in the world isn't gonna help if the air out side the tent is the same temp. Get a small a/c unit and cool that room off. If your unable to do so run your fans at night pulling cooler air from outside I mean even Louisiana is cooler at night then during the day but I'm glad I had the ability to run a zoned geothermal system in my house
