This is my first indoor grow so any advice is appreciated.
Im in a 6ft by 2.5ft by 8ft tall. I'm growing 8 plants(do you think there is adequate space) 7 fem lemon skunk and 1 hash plant haze. I am using a 600w MH/HPS with Lumatek ballast the exuast fan is a 50 cfm bath room exaust fan. The canvas is a blackout material. Right now with the room sealed, other than a passive intake(4" hole with dryer vent at the lower left of the canvas, It gets up to 90 degrees in a little over an hour with exaust going constant.

Ideas: If i were to cut a hole in the ceiling i would connect to the attic where there will be cold air, as im in northern hemisphere. Wtih this:
Passive intake cold air from attic
Cool tube light with attic air and connect to exuast to exhaust outside same as current exuast
Cheapest and easiest way: Will it Work?: Double up exhaust- get another 50 cfm fan and put in top left corner of room.

Questions: Which one of these will work best? i guessed the cool tube but it is also going to cost me the most money. Would double exhaust help enough?

Will be post pics soon

If your going to use a carbon filter that fan probably wont do...youll need a good inline fan/scrubber combo

wooohooo. I am growing super lemon haze under a 600 luma in dwc five gallon hydro. One of those prefab * in netpot lids and a home depot bucket. She is a hardy strain, For boredom I have switched from soil, to aero, to ebb to this final dwc bucket where I going to veg her out as a donator. When I said hardy yu can see I meant hardy, this was all done with the same plant! She flourishes. I am using general hydor three part and just plain tapwater. Flor hardwater micro tho. I chose the gh three part after a lot of thinking. It is the cleanest easiest smartest system I feel out of all I have looked or dabbled in. And since it is gh hardwater three part I can just us plain tapwater and not give a frick about chlorine either. She seems a little slow a vegger to me, but yu can see I am deranged. Good luck.

my bad it is a 435 cfm centrifugal inline fan by valueline for $80 dollars. is this going to be to much air moving through my room, it is only 120 cubic feet?

thanks, you think that much air being pulled through a 120 cubic foot room will be to much. Will it hurt more than my humidity level, and how much will the low humidity hurt me? Yea the seed chose was a little spontaneous but i think it will be great bud. I plan to cross it with a high thc content indica dominant strain for my next grow b/c of its great taste traits.

I would air cool the light with that fan, the air moving through the fan would never touch the grow room. Use booster fans for exhaust and intake( unless you only have 1 booster fan; use it as exhaust, and make a hole etc for a passive intake) With fans like that you want to PULL the air NOT push the air, if ya know what I mean. So you would have your light (in an aircoolable hood) ducted to the outside of your box(on both ends of reflector) and then put the fan on one end so the air is being pulled through the duct- through the light- through more duct and then through the fan

Uh, dude WTF are you talking about?????
I was talking about ME fucking up typing --- not you!!!!!!!!

Damn, are we a little sensitive there??????

I WAS going to comment about how I like your set up and offer a few suggestions, but I kept fucking up the spelling and just deleted it all and typed what I did.

Grow up and grow some thicker skin dude!!

And BTW, you DO need a higher cfm fan in the worst way, but otherwise you look good-to-go:bigjoint:
