My 4×6×6 room is getting extremely hot upwards to 110 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit sometimes when the light is on I have a 1000 w hos mh system I do have a 6 inch fan with a 16 inch by 6 inch carbon filter I have fans blowing in the room also I was thinking about pulling cool air from under my house into the room but making sure I filter the air before it gets to the room. I was going to see if I can get some input on that idea also I'm going to upload hopefully upload a few pictures of my buds since this crop is in such bad shape I was going to see if I'm in range to go ahead and pull in them so I can get another grow going I've already got my clone all I need is the room now

I have my grow room inside of a bedroom and the air is being blown strait into the bedroom from the grow room I have not been able to get a proper ventilation system going yet I was going to cut a hole through the ceiling and then through the roof. I'm not sure what ambient air temperature means or is I just know what the temperature that the thermometer is giving me

Hes referring to the temp in the room where the tent is located. You need to get that heat out asap. All your doing is dumping it in the room and bringing it right back in.

Also your a long long way from harvesting

can you open a window and run the extraction duct out the window? run the duct out the chimney? i would worry about extracting the hot air out of the room before worrying about getting cooler air in. if the ambient temp in your bedroom is regularly livable it will be fine for your plants if you duct that hot extracted air out.

Yeah like Lordhooha said, your just recirculating hot air over and over unless you can get it out of the room and preferably out of the house. Your also depleting co2 running that way too.
Get your extraction sorted out asap. windows, chimneys, roof vents all work. Even just to another room would be better than recirculating, although that can cause problems with humidity.

Yeah that was just a shot in the dark about harvesting I'm just ready to get these plants out of here because I have done Jack them up so much and from what I'm understanding everybody is saying that I would be better off getting the hot air out rather than trying to cool the hot air off. One of these days I would really like to have a two-stage system that way I could have some in the growing stage while some was in the flowering stage but when I started this project I had nothing but bag seeds from good smoke and a 4 foot fluorescent light I have worked my way up to what I have now maybe by next bro I will have everything figured out (not) it sounds good though by the way my ambient temperature is staying between 80 and 90 degrees

So the room the tent is in is around 80 to 90? Damn hopefully you don’t sleep there that’s hot man. Keep that room cool and vent the the air in the tent outside.

are there no windows in the spare room? i suspect simply running the exhaust duct out the window would cause your whole system to level out to the ambient temp of your house. if you cant get the hot air out all you could do is run your a/c constantly. or dim your light. some people say you can put frozen water bottles near your intakes ect but none of that really works. you need fresh air in there
