Wuddup peeps. Well I have a 2x3x6 tent. I have one 90 watt led ufo and a 45 watt led panel from sunshine systems. The ufo is on top and the 45 watt panel is hanging on the side of the plant. Also I have 2 50 watt cfls on the other sides. I just installed a 6" vortex 452cfm exhaust fan. The fan is at the top sucking hot air at the top. At the bottom of the tent is vents. Those are flapped up. So its sucking cool air at the bottom by sucking an ass load of air at the top. My temps are around 83 at the highest and my ambient room temps are from 75-80. I can also install a smaller cfm fan sucking cool air from under m house in a different location than the exhaust so I will get cooler air. The only deal with that is that it is such a tight fit that I have to put the tent together in the closet. So any suggestion and more information to help me just ask. Also I have a box fan in the tent. All help is appreciated.

im using a $30 6"duct booster fan on my 4x4x6.5 tent but im running a 400 HPS and it stays right about 78 with the lights on and 68-70 when off. which is all good but the humidity is the problem its around 75-80% lights on and 65-70% lights off. those fans are pretty weak i'm gonna have to add another 6" to make it almost right and you can't really use a carbon scrubber with those duct fans either they just dont have alot of power. But im kinda broke so the 2 or 3 weak ones are gonna have to work till i can afford a vortex. or you could add a 4" duct fan to your inlet at the bottom if you can get a line to some cool air. Im probably gonna end up havin to do both. Hope that helps you bro and good luck on the temps and the LED light. keep growin good dope

Outside the tent its about 65, i put a round oscillating fan in the bottom corner of the tent opposite of the exhaust pointing almost straight and i added a small oscillating tower fan in the corner below the exhaust that sits just above the top of the pots and i leave the top horizontal zippers open and the main vertical zipper closed all the way and flip the top flap over the top of the tent and the temp stays at 76 but i got the humidity down to 55 with the lights on. I need to get the humidity down to 50 cuz im goin into my 2nd week of flowering and dont wanna take any chances of gettin bud mold.
