Temperature Control

Hey I'm looking for advice dealing with temperature control. I'm using two rooms that are connected by one doorway. There is one window in each room and I have an AC unit in each window. I even went so far as to use a bag/tubing to vent the cool air from one AC unit directly into the tent with the other one just blowing into the room.

My problem is that the temperature still remains a consistent 90-96 degrees in the tent. So basically I have my tent with one tube running cold air straight into it, and a second intake just bringing in air from that room. In addition I have a small fan in the tent circulating air. Light is about 1.5 ft-2ft above canopy (single 600w).

For the life of me I cannot figure out why two AC units aren't enough to keep the internal tent temp below 95.... WTF? Unless they aren't functioning correctly maybe...

Anyways, any tips or suggestions on products or methods to supplement my heat control would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for reading so much fucking text lol

Are you using a sealed air cooled hood?

Also you don't mention anything of your exhaust system?

Just quoting the OP to provide an alert, seems we lost them.

Can I have a picture? Sorry, but you can sit there and explain something to someone for an hour when a picture will say so much more. I too have a 600W hps in the attic. I've been able to bring my temps down to 78-84.
