ok so im running 1000w hps on 75% regular wing reflector , no cool tube no air cooled hood.... got the wrong fans for exhaust , using 2 8in booster fans , thought they where 500cfm but are actually 210 free air cfm...and a 4 inch 90cfm all for exhaust, my intake is a 12 in passive intake (hole coverd by screen) and a 4 inch 90cfm.... i have a 12 inch iscollating fan blowing on my hps bulb towards my exhaust and i just installed a window ac in the wall of my room..... the 12inch fan is blowing the cold air to the back of the room and from there i think its getting exhausting because on the side of my room with the exhaust the temp is 78 on the opposite side of the room it is 86.... should i cut out the two exhausts by the back of my room and just leave the one near my hps?

No you should keep the exhausts. You'll find the ac keeps the temps down. I would suggest if you got the cash you get a dual hose ac it circulates the air better on the other side of the room opposite the exhausts.

Ya that's just the thing the bigger the room the easier it is to regulate temps. My room is 8' by 8' but I only use 5' by 5'. What are your room dimensions again and your using a 600w right?

By a Danby dual hose it's perfect search it on ebay I got mine for $220 CAD delivered refurbished. Ya a cool tube would definitely help.

Fuck I'm baked that was even in your opening post sorry dude. Not much room for a Danby dual hose I think a cool tube and the ac you got should be sufficient.
