I have a simple 150watt hps light. I am using a 32x32x60 tent. I have a 4inch fan that is 190cfm, my filter is 4inch at 200cfm. I have ac in the room where the tent is. My temps yesterday was almost 95. Why?

I am growing a autoflower. So started with cfls. I thought using my using hps would work better. Now I just went back to cfls.

I can take a pic in just a few. I even had a small fan blowing between the plant top and the light. My fan and filter was on high. Is this setup a waste for just 1 autoflower?

Definitely wouldn't say it's a waste, one good auto could fill that space. Just need more info and maybe a glance at your setup to help you figure it out.

Should be able to run the 150w easily in that setup. Try opening up some intake vents at the bottom of the tent to allow more of your ac'ed air into it.
