I am having problems with heat - easy breakdown
Tent is 3x3x6.5
3x 6 inch ports
3x 3 inch utility ports
3x 20x3 inch vent ports
One 6 inch port is on the top of the tent near the right end corner
Two 6 inch ports are on each side of the tent a little past half way in the tent
I am running a 600W Ballast
The ballast is outside of the tent
The reflector is a cooltube, I have the bulb side ducted and ported through a 240CFM fan exhausting the heat. The opposite side of the cooltube is open taking air from inside the tent, also sucking in air from two of the three vent ports (it sucks the tent wallls in a bit when the fan is blowing)
Room temp that the tent is in, is around 70-72 degrees F
Tent temp reaches 82+ degrees F
The 240 CFM exhaust fan runs every 15 minuites for 20 minuites. This is because I was testing my cycle timer, if need be I will run it 17/7 to compensate for the light cycle.
Does anyone have any recommendations to combat the heat? I am assuming another inline fan would help, but don't know about placement. I wish I could post a diagram of the tent but the website does not have one.
