The fan bit depends.... If you're going to make an AC for WAY cheap, yeah pretty ghetto but it works. Get a tupperware or pan or something and put it under 2 frozen 2 liter bottles of water. Get a cardboard box or box, and cut two holes in the front and the back the entrance hole a little lower, the exhaust hole a little higher. Make a cone out of posterboard, duct tape that cone to your fan. Stick the smaller end of the cone into the lower hole of the box, turn the fan on and you will have enough AC for about 6-12 hours, keep 2 other 2 liters in the freezer so you can switch them out when needed. It's a little bit of a pain in the ass but like I said it works. There's like 3 or 4 AC ideas I have, this one being the dirt cheap one.
As far as ventilation I'd probably go 6-8 inch honestly, with an extra fan inside the grow area. My setup is half ass at the moment, because of funds being tight. Right now I have my dirt cheap AC going with a 10 inch cone fan, also a 10 inch fan by my ballast exhausting heat, a HUGE box fan hung up on the closet rack thingy so it ocsillates itself, and another 10 inch fan on the other end of the closet on the floor pulling in cool air. I'm always home by the time my girls go off, so I just close the closet doors when they turn off. I live out in the desert it's been really hot here lately, we broke over 100F yesterday in my state, so if I can pull off a half ass ghetto creation (For the time being), I know you can too
.Development has probably gotten stunted by the heat.
Hope this helps.
lol. We were at like 102F-104F yesterday, so trust me I feel your pain lol. At least it cools down way cold at night though, yeah your state is way hot.
