LOL, dont mean to laugh...but dude. You're running a 600 HPS in a 3x3, and you got the heat to 80. Mind you, 1 or 2 degrees over perfect. I run 2 LED panels and a 250W cfl and I can't get my 5x5 under 85. (closed closet with little fresh air ect..ect.. it's the best I have)

I run a 1000 watt in a 3x4x6 with space blankets on the walls and 3 big plants scrogged and am able to keep it 82* F all night. You need an inline fan and a way to dump the heat out! And two fans blowing big time at the empty space between plants and the light. Im using a cooled hood. When I had a 250 watt without a cooled hood I had a hard time keeping it under 82 F

In actuality 70 to 80 is optimal for most growers. Ive even gone as high as 85 degrees without too much damage. But youre good at 80.

After topping off with chilled water I didn't get over 73 water temps all night. 81 touching the 1000 watt. Once I get the rdwc setup and the chiller going all the time I'll be perfectly dialed in.
