If you are able to vent out the A/C hot-air then great, if not, it would only make it worst

And if as you said HE looks pitiful... kill him kill him now....
Ya need a window, to vent your AC...

Venting is so very important! You cant expect a plant to grow strong with no fresh air or breeze. Let alone in 96 degrees. Can you throw a fan in there and leave the door open? A lot of circulation fans are added to not only move air around but strengthing the stems and branches. That may help a bit, but like Sand4x105 said.. if its a he you might as well rip em out and start again when you have a proper grow area.

You can put a hundred fans in there but without fresh air exchange your just blowing hot air around. You need to exaust that hot, stale air and bring in cool fresh air.
ahh this is depressing..don't rly want to kill him but putting a tent with ventilation stuff all around it in my garage seems a little sketchy. have the money for it just think its a little much. may get some cfls and try that or like u guys said, take a few steps back and start over when i have the right setup or better yet the right state to do it in.

rule of thumb for newbie start up, plan to spend as much as ventilation as you do on lights
without in/out ventilation, you will have major issues
Dr. Jekyll
your alternative is LED or CFL or T5, as they have much less heat than HID
or get a job and buy your pot

Hey NPO,
Venting is as important as lighting, as important as nutes, as important as odor control, as important as anything else. That said, on my first grow I learned as I went along, too.
Leave the closet door open with a fan blowing in and run it until the temps under the lights at about 75F. If the temperature in the room isn't cool enough to do that, then put an A/C in the window and run it until you have the desired results.
This will handle the venting issue. Now, if you're growing in a place where you can't do that (someone else's house) then you need to get rid of the plant anyway, because you won't be able to control odor. You probably wouldn't be able to do that anyway, so there seem to be several reasons why you might be saying bye-bye to this grow.
Good luck!
EDIT: Hyde's suggestion of switching to cooler lights might be the solution.

I thought I could start a grow with only 130$ hos. Well I'm $700 in and just bought my last vented fan and scrubber shit is expensive to do right but no higher than the cost of the weed compared to the yield of seemingly free bud.
