ya, id run at night if possible, sounds like you need a more powerful fan. you say you have 2 6" fans? you need 1 6" vortex or similar

View attachment 1539245this type of setup with in/out will solve your issue
If he has a 600w HPS he must have a little $ but those extraction fans are crazy expensive. I dont mean to speak for someone I know nothing about but I know I sure couldnt afford one. Just saying maybe thats the problem. ??? How much was the one you have? The ones im thinkin of are $300+/per. You could get TWO 4 bulb T5 setups for the price of one of those fans. not saying that the temp isnt a very important aspect, something has to be done, 90+ is WAY too high but theres gotta be something cheaper.
Can you give us pics or more description of the grow area "CEECONST"?

if you cant buy an extractor to suck the heat out from your 600 you can try unzipping the top of the tent and aiming the fans to blow the air out the top

but it will be vuuury smelly :)

Use 1 of the 6 inch fans to cool the light. Suck the heat off the bulb and out the tent preferably straight to outside. maybe a window. put the other 6 inch fan ontop of the tent to suck the air out, im sure the tent has some flaps so the intake will just bypass. Connect both exhaust to a y connector and put them into a window. your tent should stay pretty cool then. thats how i kept my first tent cool and i was using a 1k...

What is the temp outside of the tent?
Where are you venting your hot air too?
Is your bulb bare?

You have the correct fans to cool your room, but it sounds to me that your venting (or vent/ducting) set up is not right. If you are pulling air out of the tent then that is basically sucking air into the tent through the vents, however, if the air going out of the tent is hot, and the air coming into the tent is hot, you are just circulating hot air and all day long making it hotter and hotter. If this is the case you will get mold/pm, etc.

Good luck bru, hope you get it sorted. (remember not to mix hot and cold air! then you will be right!)

peace, DST
