Hey bud you don't need an intake fan for your grow, It's called negative pressure. When you have a fan pulling air out of a room that is sealed with only one intake and one exit and the exit is using a fan to suck air out , the pressure inside the grow will be less the the pressure out side of the room and the pressure will try to equalize it by rushing back into the intake hole. I have a 400 watt hps with an air cooled hood, I m using a 8 inch 420 cfm ducting fan, I have the fan outside of the tent attached to one side of the air cooled hood via 8 inch ducting, the other side of the air cooled hood is open to the air and it sucks the air out of the grow room through the air cooled hood. I have one flap open in the bottom of the tent that sucks air into the tent, My temps run between 74- 81.5 F depending on if the window fan next to the tent is on or not. disregard the light trap thing on that diagram. But this is my setup for air circulation and it works just fine. what kind of exhaust fan are you using and what is the cfm rating of it? What is your room size? and is your hps dim-able ? can you post a picture? I'm tryin to help ya man I just need a little more info .

Man you wouldn't believe what you can get by with by thinking. Mine are in a 2.5' x 2.5' shower,I turn the bathroom exhaust on,I stick a small fan at the door blowing in,to blow gently on the plant,to strengthen the stalk. I hope you not hydro,but high temps make dense buds less often.
Heck, I'll tell ya everything,I usually set a box fan on commode real close to plants and have it blowing hard,the plants have been growing like I been training 'em or something,I ain't sure that's why I'm running on gentle and some distance this time. When I started putting the fan at the door the temp dropped 6 - 8 *s. GG & HY
edit; I run my 600w on low till they get a little size on'em

here guys here is one of my baby girls ..and every one of them are the same hight and every think .going to leave them in palgron light mix for a week..then start giving them there feed ..sinsie grow ph perfect with voodo juice ..and when i go to flower .after week 3 of flower take away voodo ..and give it budastree .for the rest of the grow with sinsie bloom 
...i know i got to be ,light on the niuts ...coz pineapple chunk and blue cheese ..are not very tolerant to em ...but dont my babys look nice ..only started germinating on friday ...and put them in soil saturdayMrMeanGreen

FFS...... with your 600 up high and your plants down low temps shouldn't be an issue. I bet a Q that your takin ya temps from up high rather than down where ya pots are. Heat rises and cooler air sinks so have your fan/filter up high and your passive inlet down low. Unless of course your in a confined space, then ya pretty fucked.
what are your ambient room temps (outside ya grow area)?

Yeah be patient with the sprout and Im not sure I understand about the temps. Are you trying to keep it at 85-90 for the sprouts or are you having trouble getting it lower. If your having trouble getting it lower then you have way bigger problems to worry about than the seedling my friend. Good luck
well to tell you the truth i dont know what im doing tbh lol every ones telling me diffrent things and when i do it there way...like have intake exuast fan for my out take instead ..and when i do that my temps going in the 90/91 ..when i do it my way .have outake exuast as intake ..my temps go to 79/81 wich is what i wont ...now i under stand if my room is hot then my tents going to be hot....so now iv just put my intake exuast as my outtake ...and fan blowing in side my tent ..and my temp is 86/90 
grrrr i cant fuckin win ...well pissin me off ..im just gonna rip the hole lot fuckin down in a minute

Do what ever you need to do to get your temperatures right . I think were just giving you lots of hints as to what we all do. Just take what info you need to take. And leave the stuff thats not relevant to you behind. If you have your temps down to 80 f then your good and I would not stress it anymore. Hope it all works out for ya and if ya need any more help then feel free to ask. Also if I were you I would start a grow journal so we can see your progress along the way
thanks budget ..and iv just been reading some other weed growing sites and one post says ..he used only an intake exuast ..and he grew the most dencest buds ever coz of the lovley fresh air they were getting .....thats when that person was growing in a tent all so ...im only using tent just for this one grow..the moneys for me to move out my mums house...so need to get this right as i need to but all the grow kit again for new place...better stuff like fans and good airflow system lol so i dont have to post all this shiit lol ...iv changed it back to intake exuast now and thats how im gonna keep in ill see you all in 11 weeks when i show you what my method can bring...could be nothink ..could be massive we will see.... and then people will have to recheck on what they acctully know
THIS IS WHAT IV BOON GOING OF AND PART 9 IS WHAT IV DONE
[h=2]10 Biggest Mistakes Growers Make....[/h]
1. Don't Over water
Over watering kills cannabis plants. Water once the top few inches of the soil dry out. Hydroponics is harder to over water because rockwool has such excellent drainage properties. As long as the rockwool cubes are not sitting in liquid it is virtually impossible to over water a hydroponic setup. A hydroponic setup could either be watered constantly as the drip method, or once to three times a day as in the flood and drain method.
2. Don't Tell People
Why? They will only be jealous. People love to feel important and that is why they will tell other people; because others will listen to them.
Keep it to yourself.
3. Touch/kill Germinating Seeds
Please have some patience. It sometimes takes 10 days for a seed to sprout. The paper towel method is not recommended because you must handle the seeds when transferring them from the paper towel to your growing medium.
4. Grow seeds from seeded cannabis
One of the greatest disappointments known to the growing man.
90% of what the final product will be is in the seed's genetics and has little to do with the environment the plant is grown in.
Many get their hands on the seed and think they have a gold mine. They will probably grow something like this: hermaphrodites, tall late flowering females coupled with early flowering males. This is because the only pollen that could have produced the seed was from a hermaphrodite or a very stunted and late flowering male the grower did not notice. Unless you are prepared for possible disappointment don't use "unknown" seeds. This is why people buy seeds from seedbanks.
5. Don't Over fertilize.
Fertilize after first 2 spiked leaves appear follow the label. DON'T FERTILIZE EVERY TIME YOU WATER!!!
Start with 25% and work your way up!
Leach the plants with lots of pure water every 2-4 weeks. Organic growing is recommended. Its tastes better and burns much better.
If the leaves suddenly twist or fold under, Leach and Spray with pure water for several days!
6. Don't Under fertilize
Under fertilizing is less common but it happens. If you are one of those people that likes to give the plant just enough nutrients make sure you use a organic soil mixture with blood meal and bone meal or some slow release fertilizer with micro nutrients.
7. Don't Start with Clones. (I personally don't agree with this, I use clones and cuttings)
Start with seeds. Bugs are a pain, So are plant diseases. Many growers are able to grow indoors without pest problems for years. If they do get pests they are probably not enjoying the change from their usual diet to cannabis resin! But as soon as you come in contact with others grow material (cuttings) it is almost guaranteed that its from a long time grower that has many different pests all eating cannabis and bug spray (and surviving) for hundreds of generations!... Think about it.
8. Don't Start Too Early Inside or Outdoors
For several reasons! If you are starting outdoors June 1 is perfect. But if I start earlier I will get bigger buds right? Probably Wrong!
Its strange but usually true. ill explain. Plants started in early spring will get big but they will take significantly longer to start flowering. This is because at the peak vegetative period they sense the light cycles getting longer and longer, until June 21. But they don't realize that its time to flower yet. Finally in the middle of August the plant says "HEY" "time to flower already" and it produces buds in August and September or later they will be tall as trees but thinner buds due to the fact that the sun is not as strong in September. Now if the ganja plants were put out later, as soon as they get a foot off the ground they say "what's going on" I am just in early veggie and the light hours aren't getting longer in fact SHORTER" Then the plants go crazy and since the sun is so bright in July and August you get amazing 6 foot trees that are heavier than the plants started in April!!! in addition to finishing earlier the late started plants are not nearly as noticeable.
Indoors is the same for different reasons. The light cannot penetrate more than a foot or two. So flower when plants are a foot tall. If you wait longer because you want bigger yields, you will get smaller yields and wait longer for them.
9. Don't Provide A Bad Environment.
Always provide air circulation and fresh air even during the night cycle is fine. All the air indoors should be replaced every 5-10 minutes.
Humidity between 30-70% temp aim for around 75-85' Even seedlings need a gentle fan to strengthen the stems.
10. Don't Harvest Too Early.
I know its hard. You see the buds and resin forming at a rapid rate. The buds are potent and you feel tempted to chop em down! The only problem is that another 25% of the weight will form in 2 more weeks. Wait until the plants have totally stopped growing and the white pistils are at least 50-75% brown.
*NOTE: Outdoors if security is a factor make your own call on when to sacrifice the fields. Also take buds continuously in case of thieves.
