My Tent is getting too hot during the Summer even though I keep the room cool.
Can anyone recommend a good little A/C unit for my Tent.

Well if the rooms cool then it's a problem with your extraction set up.
How cools cool?
What's the whole set up consist of?

Into the same room. I could fix it to go outside.
I had it open on Autos being next to a Fireplace it would get too warm during cold weather but closed it up for Photos and so far doing just fine.
I forgot to add I have a good Filter inside the Tent.

You definitely need to dump that air outside, you are just recycling the same air. Once you start dumping that air outside and bringing fresh air in there’s a good chance you won’t need to worry about an A/C. Good luck

To touch on this it’ll bring in fresh Co2 as well.

Definitely dump outside. I noticed a nice improvement after that.

Lower the room temp to 70-75 and your tent temps will drop to 80-85.

I agree with the comments that your extraction fan is a bit undersized. A six inch fan would do a better job getting your tent temp a little closer to your room temp. And dumping warm tent air outside will help with temps if your room intake air is cooler and dryer than your tent. But you will be venting your air conditioned air outside so that will kind of work against itself depending on the temp and humidity of your intake air.

Would a portable AC work inside tent? Here's the smallest I've found and it is 7000 BTU, which seems like a lot to me.

My grow tents are in a bedroom (which is my lung room). To maintain my lung room throughout the year I have a portable a/c, portable dehumidifier (70 pint), and a portable heater and use these as needed when needed with a temp/humidity controller.
My 6” ac infinity inline exhausts above the ceiling into the attic right below a roof vent. I also have an additional 6” flex duct going through the ceiling into the attic for my portable a/c for the hotter times of the year.
Get the equipment needed to dial in your lung room and your grow tent will follow suit and be dialed in better. What are your plans beyond flower when you have to dry? Do you have a cool area for that?

What size of an area are you trying to cool down? A 10,000 BTU may be a better option to go with.
A portable a/c inside the tent would take up precious space imo. I would rather run a duct to the tent to cool it or cool the room/area the tent is located at. Unless you’re growing in a badass 16’x10’ tent

OK makes sense. I could let air in on the dark side by removing a cover, should be OK on light for Photos? Right!

Don't you just hate it when she is right.
My wife says if I can open it up the 4 inch will work by pulling the cooler air in.

That's what all the ventilation flaps are for around the bottom of the tent walls fella.
