Thank you! I try not to skimp out with cheep quality equipment an do quality work when I put things together. I'll take the box out from under the plants to give more distance they haven't showed any negative signs.
So as far as feeling heat on back of my hand idea if I am just used to hot temps or what but I only feel it about 12 inches away. I have my hood 20 inches above my plants. Here is a video of current setup.

Shout to astronaut rob for the bungee cord comment works great!
I moved my thermometers and added a oscillating fab now where is the best spot for my thermometers? I took out the 2nd inline fan and will upload a new video I have a window cracked at all times and it keeps temps regulated
So I solved my problem by having the window cracked at all times and having it covered with eclipse black out blinds to block light and sound to the outside!

Thanks for the input I will definately think about a larger carbon in future. So a little update on yesterday it maintained 78.4 to 78.8 for a good 16 hours when I checked 20 hours on it was at 80.8 so I decided to add the second fan in place and turn it back on currently it's a 79.9...
I didn't end up opening the 2nd 6in max fan yet since I was busy yesterday. So my carbon filter is a can lite 4 inch with a 4 to 6 conversion with a 250cfm rating because initially I was going to run my original active air 6 inch at half speed due to noise. Currently I have a 6 inch max fan pro...
Ya you answered it correctly. I bought another 6 inch max fan yesterday for 200 I'll be hooking it up after work today. I'll keep you posted on verdict
I guess I'll get another 6 inch max fan my only issue is noise I gotta figure out how to quiet them a bit more. In gonna try carbon filter -fan -exhaust and a separate intake and exhaust for my a.c light now what's better to cool light fan on intake side or exhaust side
