Also a point about your temps.
You can fight trying to lower your temps all day long, but adding cool air to the room isn't the biggest problem.
Exhausting your heated air is the key.
Often times, just getting the hot air out of the room will lower your temps without any cooling equipment.
You can put a bag of ice or an air conditioner in an oven, but you will spend more time and BTUs trying to fight the ambient temps in the room, than any cooling effect you will ever achieve.
Move the air out of wherever you are growing and you will most likely see a drastic improvement.
Then you can add a cooling device if needed, otherwise you are spending serious BTUs trying to fight the inevitable.

If you had a exhaust like a inline fan with carbon filter exhausted into roof or wall you would force the air to be sucked into the closet maybe cooling it off. You could just get a tent or try a bigger ac. Maybe both. You use passive intake, and the exhaust forces air through the intake.
i don't mean to paranoid you but ona doesn't get rid of the smell it only masks it. So just cuz you can't smell it doesn't mean others can't. The sense of smell varies from person to person.
i would like to see pictures of the setup so I can give more advice

My 135w ufo is venting around 90, the 150w HPS is venting around 110, its not too big off atm, Not a blackstar though, el cheapo ebay chinese knockoff although it does put out decent amt of light, wouldn't look around it too long makes whites go grey/green after you look back into normal lighting. If you can in the future invest in 120$ 5,000 btu window a/c, then you could get a 400-600w.
edit: nvm above posts already mentioned, lol.

Hey man for your next grow I would def invest in an hps system and combine what you already have and sit back and enjoy
my temps reached 92 with the led, i can't imagine what will happen with an hps

I gave all I know. And keep in mind high temps stresses the plant and stress causes hermie.

i use the general organics line.. .do yourself a favor and use some kool bloom as well .. thats my only guess other then lighting as to why thyre small... probably mainly the lighting.. i never seem to hear LED crossed over with large or huge yield. go HID... its proven.
I use biobizz products,biogrow and biobloom.
