Temp is 85+ going up to 90

I've got two fans blowing and also an extractor fan and carbon filter

But the heat is just unreal

I don't know if my extractor fan is doing it's job or not, the fan is on top of the tent... The arrow on the fan is facing towards the window.

The temp gauge is on the pole at the back of tent (dunno if that's right place put it)

The light is 600w HPS
And it's right at the top of the tent and the plants are at the bottom in the corner.

The desk top fans are doing there job though it's really breezy in there.

I really need your help please.

Thanks in advance

Where is your inline fan placed? I run 2, 1000w lights in an 8" x 4" tent and have no problems with temperature. Here is a picture of one of the tents. I would suggest connecting the inline fan to the carbon filter, and push out the heat. I also have refrigerated air running through the tents though.runnen2.jpg

Ok..do you have a cool tube for your hps? Or just a bare bulb? And when a scrubber/filter is connected it drops your cfm to your fan, so it might not be powerful enough, even if you think it's blowing hard it doesn't mean it's getting rid of the stale hot air fast enough

No it's just bare bulb

Yeah I've got a carbon filter fitted to ducting then the fan outside

Sorry I'm really new to this and can't give you more info as I honestly don't know .. I am doing loads of reading but I rather ask wuestios to experience people than just search the web

Get rid of that floor fan.

And invest in 2 clip on fans, this way you can position them to push air out.

Them cheap floor fans have poor cfm ratings and are not ideal.

Have the fan pulling air out of the room the tents in. Pull the air out of your tent and push it into the attic. And air cool your light. Tents hella suck because they get to hot. If any of that doesn't work your going to need a window ac.

May need to get a portable AC unit. otherwise you will want another inline fan for putting air into the tent (preferably at the bottom where air is slighty cooler) That or invest in a cooltube. I run a 1k watt hps in a 4x4x6 tent and have no heat issues with just one single inline fan.
