if you're having that big of a heat issue, i would switch to some kind of florescent lighting for veg. or at least untill you can get your temps dialed in. What size is your tent? What do you have for ventilation? and how do you have it set up? Do you exhaust outside or at least out of the room your grow is in?

ive had the same problem while i was flowering in june and july, best way to keep your tent cool is to either suck cold air in the bottom of the tent if possible. try and cool the room it is in instead of the tent itself so the cool air isnt just being exhausted out almost intantly. hope that helps
