I have a 4x4x8 tent and i just bought a new light and it has made my tent rise from 80-82 to over 90 within 20 minutes. I am looking to cool it down so im looking at intake fans. What is everyones go to? I see a lot about the AC infinity. does anyone have something they like more? that maybe has a carbon filter built in? i like that with the infinity you can control the humidity and temp by number it says.
question with setup

Dont bother get a bigger exhaust.
Yes. You cant run a grow without an exhaust. You want a negative pressure. Are you in a tent? What's the light?
i have a 4x4x8 tent and currently running both of these lights
with just the LED my tent stays between 79-82. with that new light i just installed it instantly jumps to 90+. it gives off alot of heat

Yeah... His give off a lot more heat... but it's a great light... you can bin that cheap led now... lol... only joking. But that cmh will be good on it's own.
In a 4 by 4 inwoukd recomment a 150mm duct fan and a carbon filter... you can buy them as a kit.
Horticultural lighting group. Aka hlg. I have these and a cmh.... i like the cmh too. In a 4 by 4 a cmh is good.
I would think about using the led as side lighting maybe. Just try and avoid any light hot spots with the 2 lights together like that.

This is a fantastic guide. You need an exhaust fan running at all times, even if its just on low speed. Plants need constant fresh air. I would personally hang a 6'' fan and carbon filter from the ceiling of the tent and vent it wherever you want. No need for the digitally controlled ones, just run the cheaper model with just a speed controller on low 24/7.
