How is the fan now the problem? Lol if you have 5 fans and temps are still 90 clearly your fans aren't strong enough
What size area are you growing in and what type of light?
What are the ambient temps outside of the op where the intake is coming from?

As long as you have good airflow you can grow in the 90's I do. You need a constant exchange of fresh air. I grow great plants. I assure you

ok here is some pics of what i am working with i got this new light this week wanting to bring my temp down the weed in the pic is my first grow i got about around 4 oz. from two plants but i think the temp is a big problem in why is not as full as it could be i want my temp down 5 to 10 degree as you can see i really dont have much more room unless i take down some shelfs and i can't do that right now the two fans i have on the light are bathroom fans rigged up

my temps were at 90 for a while....was never really a problem...they grew fast and strong...fans will create windchill that ur thermo wont pick up..so if ur at 90 with lots of fans...ur plants are feeling like 80...

i just created a larger space for the plants and now i max out at 85. by that i mean...i had created a square with sheets of wood. i basically opened the wood to allow air to flow out...and im stable at 85

not sure if that helps you

See those two fans? They suck
They are not strong enough to cool your tent
What wattage light are you using?
I would ditch that bathroom fan crap and get a real inline fan such as the ones I linked previously.
That is your only option besides buying a portable air conditioner
Growing weed is an expensive hobby and if you want your plant to have a good environment you need to research FIRST so that you can buy all the things you need in one try instead of trial and error and wasted money

It is a lot easier to make a room warmer than it is to make a room colder
Getting a bigger than necessary exhaust fan is always a good idea because of that

tom i have checked out your grow journal and me and you have the samr type of setup infact it looks like you got the kit i got from the same retailer the reflector i got earler this week but it is the same light from the kit...... they said it would b a week or so b4 they had more fans in stock or i would have got a fan with the reflector so i went with 2 fans from lowes for around 30.00 they just run exhaust on the light
