Too hot

I was dealing with 90-95 myself... got a cool tube and hooked my inline fan directly to that... along with buying a cool air humidifier and dropped me to about 80-85at most... slapped in an ac the other week and boom there's my 75-80 I've been looking for... efficiency is highly effective! During the entire grow it could be the difference between 1-2 zips... to 3-4+... the plant grows so much nicer in below 80

Plus my bottom leaves are yellowing and they just started flowering
You have to do something quick mate. By the looks of those leaves the plant is very stressed. Some strains take high temps in stride like the indica dominant plant posted above but yours isn't doing well at all.

The light was just off so i could change back to the origional reflector and its already back up to around 93° and rising. Yesterday i got in from work around 6:30 am and it was 111.2
111f is really really hot. That's well above CO2 being helpful imo. Can you dim your 600?

Absolutly stuck as i havent a penny to spend on anything. Its costing me more money to grow than i could make off them. My last few grows have been abysmmal

The only free options are raise the light way way up and dick around with the air flow / vent setup and pray something helps a little.
Or possibly borrow an air conditioner off a friend for the hot months.

My extractor is around 187/m3 and according what i read it should be around 224...would the missing 30 odd make that much difference?

No not really. Mechanical cooling is really the only way to deal with your issue IMO. I shut down in summer months and head outside. I cut duct take offs in my hoods and extract from them which helps but still way to hot when I'm sucking in 80 degree air lol.
