Check that setup out. You might want so sell your current 600w HPS for that one. It’ll cover your whole grow space and should Eliminate all heat issues
Is this a good light to use

I would return that fan and get one better suited for your tent. I would recommend a variable speed 6" fan that tops out closer to 440 CFM (750 m3/h)

I wouldn't recommend VivoSun's HPS lights. They don't have a good reputation in the lighting department and I've seen some pretty scary photos on Reddit in the past of burn marks from poorly terminated wires arcing.

This is all very annoying they shouldn’t be supplying me the wrong fans I can’t afford to buy a new 6 inch fan now as I’m not at work I haven’t been at work for a while now because of covid 19 didn’t really have the money to buy all this set up in the first place So you think that’s the issue my fans are too small ? Thanks very much to both of your for your help by the way !!

Well, to be honest, they really didn’t need to sell you two fans. I’d return both and get a single 6” variable speed fan and then just open ports up as passive intakes. I would hope that returning both of those fans would make up for the cost of one suitable fan.
Personally I would do as @TreeFarmerCharlie suggested return fans and get better suited.. I can suggest this.

Don't be tempted to get the 100mm one it's what I brought and had to return it my tent is 1200/1200/2000 as well I personally got the acuostic 50 and even on slow setting it absolutely crushes the tent so you could probs get the one size down.. not sire how much you paid for the one you have but it would seem it's not enough.. also are you venting directly to out side?

I’m not sure I would be able to return them to be honest at first I was sold one outtake fan that came with the set up I then messaged them about my heat problem and he suggest the outtake fan which I went and bought today for 80 pound but it hasn’t solved the problem

do you think this fan will solve the problem ?

Humm so venting into the room your tents in will make it lots harder to get temps inside tent down as the heat just get cycled round.. I know the feeling of nosy neighbours man.. I had to get inventive.. once I vented stright out the roof with a fake roof tile vent and now I vent stright up the chimney.. makes a huge difference.. I still don't think your fan moves enough air though. The fans i sent link for are very very quiet too btw defo the best I've ever seen for noise. There are a few different sellers would be worth shopping round .. I would think you could take the one you brought today back can't you?

To be honest now I’m just thinking about trying to sell my whole set up and getting a new one do you think this set up would be any good the 300 pound option https://www.groworks.co.uk/product/grow-tent-76-x-76-x-180cm-complete-setup
Don't think so.. and you'll be forever fighting the heat unless you vent directly outside man.

Then your only other option is air conditioning. I run LEDs in my tent and I’m close to needed AC even though I vent outside.

A larger fan is going to need a larger filter, and that filter you have is the bottleneck already, along with putting a 90 degree bend right at the exhaust.
At the very least, try moving the fan to a straight run of ducting. That will reduce turbulence, increase pressure, but that filter is seriously small for that tent.
Can you return the second fan and get a larger filter? I just can't see how to squeeze that much heat thru such a small filter. Even if you do, the smell will pass unless you filter slower

IMO, focus on getting some negative pressure (tent walls suck in a bit) before buying anything else. Like @DCcan mentioned, the 90 degree turn at your exhaust fan is working against you. Try removing your filter and setting up a straight duct run from your exhaust fan and straight out a high port. Pull the hose out of the port at the bottom of your tent and shut that port (just for now). Now open an intake window at the bottom of your tent, opposite your exhaust. Try the fan to see if you have negative pressure and go from there.

So I have just set it up like this with the cool good got my intake blowing on the bulb unfortunately I can’t take the bend out of the duct for the extraction fan as that is the only place I can have it what do you guys think ?
