Heating issue 10x13x8 room in a room

Hey there, hoping to get some help here. I have an insulated room within an insulated garage that is 13x10x8 with 9x600w digitals, all open, simple wing hood. I have a 10" exhaust with maxfan, a 6" passive intake for co2/cooling, and two A/c's; one wall mounted 12,000btu, the other 10,000 portable. The flower room exhausts into secondary room where it is filtered again before going outside. I manage to keep the room between 79 and 83. I'd like to add 3 more 600's. I've looked at mini splits, but am curious as to whether or not I can cool it by exchanging more fresh air/ducting my lights? What would be the best way to go about doing this? I have a 6" fresh intake and 6" exhaust out the side of the house, as well as a 4x13 boot. The boot is an exhaust right now, but with no ac units could reverse fan and use as intake as I cant cut anymore holes. Any help would be super appreciated.

If you seal up and use co2 the mini split will pay for itself in 1 round with the yield increase . And if you ever quit. They hold a decent value.. I used a 2 ton for 3 years then ebayed it for 800 lol

My concern is the 3 ton wont be enough to cool 12 600's without an intake to ease the burden.
Eeeeh. If you are aircooling the lights then yes. If you are not.. It might but then with dehus and potentially a burner I wouldn't do it. I would get two 2 tons. I am doing 9 lights non air cooled with 4 dehus .. I'm using two 2 tons and i can drop the room to 70f
