You should move your inline fans outside the tent to limit heat creation inside the grow.

Hey buddy, ur gonna need another exhaust fan w/ a higher cfm rating for a stand alone cooling system for ur light since its a 1000W it produces massive heat. Hence ur gonna need 2 exhaust ports,1 for cooltube and 1 for grow area. ur temps r way too high for optimal growth and it looks like u got sum nutrient lockup goin on wit ur plants by the looks of ur pics,just my $.02

Ya i flushed them a couple days ago there starting to look better, but now a few leaves look deformed and weird shaped lol! um i have my inline fan attatched to my hood blowing it out my window! where else would i need a fan?????? bringing air into the room since my inline is sucking it out the room through the hood??? i just dont want to buy one if i dont need it, but no one has really told me yet! my temps are 85F w the light on from 10pm - 10am im flowering, thanks ill try looking into some more venting cuz i know i want more air and circulation of air in there but can seem to figure out wat to do, theres new pics on my journal, + rep to ya

Yes! Yes, now you got the right idea!
no need to have duct on the begining end of the intake air/ I just have a nylon on my inline fan(booster fan) and I clean it off once a week. Also make sure your exhausting the total volume of the grow room in under 5 minutes to ensure your crop gets proper ventilation.

well i have my inline fan sitting on top of my tent! theres ducting that runs from the hood up to the top of the tent and it connects to the inline and then on the other side of the inline is more ducting that goes to the wondow! what ducting are you saying i dont need???Yes! Yes, now you got the right idea!

So i should go get a booster fan and have it blow air into the tent from my bedroom??? im just a lil confused sorry!

well its fine in there now its been 88 max! its cuz we had a heat wave for a couple days and it was in the triple digits so of course its gonna be hot in my room! Ill keep you all updated, hopefully it to get hot in there if it does i guess ill buy a portable ac! i have a inline that sucks through my hood and out my window and it gets its intake by passive hooles in the tent, subscribe to my journal cuz im just gonna post there to keep everything organized and in one place there will be plenty of pics throughout the whole process even making bubble hash when there done! heres some recent pics (day 14)
