600watt MH/HPS 4'x4' homemade grow room

Hey everyone sorry I havent been updating lately. I'm sad to say but my little seedlings didnt make it, I think its a combo of low humidity and high temps. Its some how still getting up to 85F if the door is shut and since I'm moving so much air thru the room to keep it cool my humidity is super low at 20%. Whats the ideal temp. and humidity that I'm searching for? I bought an "evaporite air cooler" from sears, it was supposed to cool the air by 10-12F and increase humidity in the room but it is junk. I'm out of anymore ideas so i suppose i have to buy a window ac unit and possibly even a humidifier. Anyone else have this hard of a time getting their room up an running right? Anymore suggestions or ideas on how to run the fans I have to cool the room better?

that sucks... you want 70-80f (85 is fine) ... with 60% humidity for veg......... temps 70-80f and humidity as low as you can get for flowering

what i did and it works like you wouldn't believe...... and its cost free!... get your temps right ... then hang damp towels in your cab..... mine was below 30%... haung 1 folded damp towel in there ... 50-60% within minutes ... all i had to do was damp the towels again after a couple of days .... its simple... cost free .... and it works WICKED!
 
couldnt get the heat figured out without an ac unit in the 4x4 room and i dont want to buy one yet so I grew 1 Afghan Kush Ryder from world of seeds in a small rubbermaid outdoor cabniet. Its about 5 days from harvest so i started a Pineapple Express and a Blueberry Bubblegum. Had to redeem myself a little bit.
