See i started with my exhaust lower at the beginning of all this cause i thought it would keep cool air in. Man this shit is a headache. Im tellin ya. We broke records today where i am at for heat. 90+. Tent was at 98 when i checked at 8 pm. Sucks ass man Also. Drivers do get very hot. I...

Just got another idea... my leds have drivers that I mounted on top of them. If I could find some extensions for them I could Maybe mount them all outside the tent on a wall, and just feed the cords in through tent ceiling. The drivers are half the heat of the lights. Not sure if I could...

If you have a suggestion of what I should do I’m all ears. I never said I know what I’m doing. The way I see the current situation is, the ac is taking air from the room, cooling it, pushing the cool air into the tent which replaces the warm air being exhausted out the window. Cool air...

Also moved exhaust just above lights.

I mean i used them before i just never considered it with my current setup. Anyways. I tried it and it made no difference. I have the ac vents routed directly into the tent now just to experiment. If it works ill figure out a cleaner way to do it. I know this is prob the most inefficient...

shit.... I could probably open the bottom vents in my tent, and my exhaust fan on the inside would cause air from the outside to be sucked in... so I would have the intake bringing in cool air and the open vents.... Damn... I don't know why I never thought about that before.

620 true watt leds. 2 of them. I put ac unit outside tent in the closet, the intake fan is now a few feet in front of ac unit on floor, and i had to hurry to work so i quickly made a wall by hanging towels to enclose the ac unit in the closet as best as i could to try and trap as much cool air...

Exhaust fan is at max. The A/C unit can cool the room, I just don't think the intake fan can bring in enough cool air to make a difference. My place is pretty old, insulation is probably lacking a bit but it isn't horrible. First floor. I'm gonna try to put the AC back out in the room and...

I have a HUMIDIFIER in the tent. I have very low humidity, the A/C unit makes it worse so I compensate with a humidifier with humidistat that keeps it around 45-55%

I think I stated already in this thread that I started out doing this before I ever put the AC in the tent... the temps were hotter than they are now doing it this way. Which is why I decided to put the AC in the tent. Intake is on the floor in the corner, and the exhaust is on the ceiling in...

In the past I had the intake taking air from the room with the AC unit in the room.... The temp in the tent was hotter than it is now with the AC unit in the tent.

I will draw a pic and post tomorrow, worked all day and almost midnight here...need some sleep lol. But, the AC unit has a 6" hose going out of the tent and to the window. I have an intake fan bringing in air from outside, but on very very hot days I just remove the hose to the window and take...

yeah, A/C unit has exhaust hose that goes out of tent and to window. Yeah, but... I would have to rely on the intake fan to bring the cooled air in the room into the tent, and I don't think that would cool the tent as fast as my lights heat it up. Also, a window unit unless I can find a...

The only remaining space outside of the 8x8 is a 1ft x 8 ft stretch along one side where window is located and then a closet about 3 feet deep and 5 feet wide. Currently have clones in there under a T5. Enough room for the AC unit out there and that's about it.

link not working

I'm not gonna spend money on a 4x4.. don't really see the point. If anything I would just get rid of the tent altogether and put a window A/c unit, cool the entire room and go from there. I like using the 8x8 though, I feel like it gives me an extra layer of protection from dust/dirt/bugs/etc...

I asked this in a different forum but I think I might have better luck here. I have an 8x8 tent, in a room with a small window. I have an intake fan bringing air in from outside, (vortex), and max fan pulling air out of the tent and exhausting out the window. I have a portable AC unit inside...

Do you have your unit inside your tent? I have a GE as well and I am trying to figure out how I can run it outside the tent and vent the air into the tent...

well. I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do. I guess I'll have to go to home depot and stare at the duct isle for an hour and try to come up with a way to piece together something that will fit snugly in the ac unit vent. I guess I could also look into maybe getting another exhaust fan...
