I'm getting two 2x4's and going to use the 2x2 for drying.
Do they make an AC for grow tents?

Then yeah maybe an ac is worth while, you could dry in the 2x2 with a portable ac, and use that tent as an intake for the other 2 which would mean you're drawing cold air into ur grow tents and the air con will be cooling your drying area only and your bedroom will stay at ambient temps

Sorry to tell you but that's not from light and heat. That's looking a lot like feed issues.

Ya I mean like I said before there's alot of variables here that we dont know. Are you in summer or winter where you are? What's your house temp? Running led you can get into mid 80's and that's actually better for the plants using led so I really can't see how you're having issues with heat.
The pic you showed indicates an issue with your pH, feed, watering, etc. heat could be an underlying issue that's just manifesting itself more because of other issues. I really can't believe nobody has asked any of these questions and just jumped onto installing an AC unit for a ~40 cubic foot area. It's actually mind boggling. I just can't wrap my head around that advice, unless you live somewhere where it's hot all the time.

Op never said how big room is just bedroom which mine is too. Typically 70-100 square foot. Pointing a fan into the room with door open will keep temps down close to what it is in the rest of home near by that room. Ac unit sounds crazy but I accepted it might have to happen. The larger the grow the likely it will need it or at least me.
I said the op had a small enough grow just dim the light and point a fan into the room. Close the tent. 2x2s get hot easily. I grew in them like 4 times. Your light powers my 2.5x5 two of the ts1000s. 50% power this grow but my plants arent all that big. Should be plenty for 2x2.

No matter time of year, you either have a window hopefully that a fan can push air into the room from outside during winter. Or an ac unit in the room. If you dont have that its going to get hot. The bigger the grow especially dehumitifier.

I mean of course winter will be better if its cold near you. It snows around me and I just have the heat vent like literally an inch open so dont get too cold. Its almost not needed but idk too many changes in my grow right now to say.
If you have a basement I was told it would help to have it there as its naturally cooler there but now its a bit too cold.

And Op is trying to upsize their grow.. So just saying. Im no expert I try to help with the most appropriate things possible or stay out the way. When threads spell out similarity to my grow I just felt free to help. I know its going to be different where you are in the world exactly but ya. Hope that helps.

Op hasnt mentioned if they have a dehuey. If they dont thats bound to add more heat as bad as the lights. I use a good dehuey 35 pint if its a real dehuey itll probably dump the same amount of heat.
You could get away with knockoff smaller ones people use I just wanted issue solved on to the next. I use frigidair. Then again I want my plants in 38rh. Mold sucks. Id have so say those dont look foxtailed but have other issues. If its not passing 85F I wouldnt mind.
It for sure can though if Im looking at the situation accurately adding more and more equipment. To something like a 100sq ft bedroom.

Sorry but a 100 watt led isn't going to raise the temperature in a bedroom. Hid? Sure that could make sense but again not happening in a 2x2
I don't grow in the summer. It's not cost effective to run an ac plus an 850 watt light and dehumidifier. Might as well just buy the weed for cheaper and no work involved. In my room I am running 2 150 w led panels in the veg tent, a mars fce8000 (or whatever it's called) and a vs3000 in the 3x3. Both tents have added uv and ir
My house is set to 63. It's almost impossible for me to get over 80° in the tents with all lights on 100% and even no extraction fans running. the room won't go above 70. And the only reason it raised is because my boiler system is literally beside my grow so when it turns on the temps go up a bit.
I'm Gona step out on this one now. Im not Gona argue it anymore. It's just making me angry.

Youre good Im just here for the weed. I can talk about it all day but forget it can mess with the information aspect. That the shorter and more informal it is the better. I get bored and want to chat. 300w of ts1000 was enough to get me in OPs situation.
Happy growing yall remember this supposed to be a source of relief. Sucks when it becomes source of stress. Happens sometimes.

The issue isn't the temps, its probably pk related

Yeah bud like everyone else has said you got some other shit going on there. That's not to say you shouldn't figure out a better way of doing your air exchange though, but what you've got is a feed or ph issue causing those kind of symptoms

That was my second guess. I originally had my ph a little too high for cocoa coir. Once I lowered the ph it seemed to be drinking better.

Here is a picture. Another guy said it looked like a nutrient deficiency. It's winte here and the weather has been bouncing around a lot. It will be forty one day and seventeen the next.

Ya it's not a nutrient deficiency. If you want help, pm me. I'd be glad to go over stuff with you.

I have a couple of 2x2’s with 100 watt fixtures, and I just have a cheap fan blowing over the fixture in each tent. It doesn’t get hot lol. Barely warm to the touch. They also have a small ac infinity pancake fan exhausting air form one of the upper duct ports. And really that isnt necessary so when if/when they crap out i dont plan on replacing them. For sure tho 100 watts in that setup is not introducing anywhere near enough heat to warrant an ac. if your ambient house temps are 80-85F in your grow area, then you have other problems…

All the info is there no need to repeat. It happened to me. What could possibly be wrong. I made a thread on it and found out the hard way I needed a mini split even with just one small grow. Or at least Im not living comfortably in that room at 80-85F. Started with just 2 ts1000’s in a 100 sq ft room.
I built my grow even bigger. Hotter. My dehuey being on all the time 38rh. I just need the ac to kick on not even that often to keep temps in check like it does when the ac is on anyway on a hot day. Mini splits can start at like 600w.
I have 4 ts1000 a ks3000 and a 380w dehuey on constant operation which will get 90F near it. A pedestal fan to circulate the room helps refresh the dehuey to keep temp down. My grow is 77F right now with outside winter air going off most the time.
When season transition hit when its mild outside so ac inside is off. It gets wild. I live with people I cant control it. But the minisplit can and wont be that bad my grow is a lot of watts as is. The heat builds up. Its heating my room right now.
Hell with my lights dimmed its about the same as two ts1000 on max and its enough to heat it up in winter. Like why is my heat off but my window fan on… Its 77F target temp on inkbird probe. I guess people just have different experiences thats why we share info.
Let me add that half my lights are alternating schedules to stay under 15a.

It was happening before I had my dehuey like this on max. Its just like that now because I got PM and budrot and everyone informed me basically theyd go as low rh possible. I dont want to lose everything again. So far so good.
