put an inline fan and blow the heat outside into your room and keep a fan on the floor to circulate the air

Yeah dude, get a duct fan and some ducting and exhaust that hot air right out your window. you can throw some towels over the fan to muffle it like I do...
like a 4 inch inline fan sucking the hot air out of my tent into my room?
the a normal fan circulatin air on the plants?
and if i leave my light on in the tent it is risky of a fire?
one more question
i had a plant growing outside but it seemd to b diein can i revive it by bring it indoors and watering it and keeeping it under the light

I use a 6 inch fan to suck the air out of my tent and I have a 400 watt too.

Well, I use a 6 inch duct fan for 25 bucks from HTG and it works fine. The 4 inch one did not cut it for me. I had a nice 6 inch vortex fan I bought for over a hundred bucks and it was wayyy too powerful so I use the cheap 6inch and it works perfect. With the fan on and lights on my inside tent temps are 10 degrees hotter than the room the tent is in. Which i feel is pretty good...
luck to you
luck to you

What dimension homebox are you using? What is your ventilation system like, and is this 6" inline fan enough to keep it cool? Thanks!

I am using a Homebox small which is 31.5 x 31.5 x 63 inches...with a 400 watt light and that cheap 6 inch duct fan is enough for me but keep in mind my homebox sits in a basement that is 70 degrees

well i think there junk and they are way to hard to keep at a good temperature, hot summer days you have to use a ac unit because if your not , your just blowing hot air in the tent and theres no way that will cool anything down and depending on your size them 25 dollar inline fans dont do squat because in my space it didnt. you can get the same inline fans at home depot

Thank you for your response.
What does the temp in the tent get up to? Are you using a cooltube?
Just trying to get an idea as I'm pondering a similar setup in either the homebox small or the one up from that. The ambient temp is warmer for me (76-78 degrees)
