Heat control or help

So my heat is getting a little to hot not that the snow melted out side. Any ideas. I have a 5x5 tent with fce8000 mars hydro light running. It puts off a lot of heat. I have an exhale bag hanging was think about getting another one to up the co2. Humidity is 60-70%. Any ideas should I run an ac or get another ac-infinity fan to put at the top of the grow tent above the lights? Or get another intake fan and pull air from out side?

Hi thanks!! Been looking for a community to be apart of love growing/consuming this plant. Air temp in the tent is 81 degrees right now, lung room temp is 65-70 degrees. I have ac infinity cloud line pro (6”) hooked up to a refillable carbon filter. It’s also ducted to the top of the tent to pull out the hot air

So I grew for 2years but with a shitty set up the. Stopped for a year because I moved to a prohibition state but laws has change. now I’ve started back and tried to up my game so I invested more into but just harvested my last run… temps were great but it was super cold out side so I had no problems. But now I’m re-setting my flower tent but I need to veg for a bit to fill out my net. So want to veg for 3 weeks then flip hopefully (also I’m organic growing in living soil

@back2soil Welcome to the GN forum!
Is the Driver on the light removable? If so can you move them outside of the tent? It might come down to a cable extension but it will get that heat source out.
There is a check list that will help us get you dialed in. :slight_smile: I found a temple ball yesterday so gimme a min. There it is!!!

What speed is your Ac inf fan set to? I think there is a good chance you may need Ac or a dehumidifier in the future as it warms up outside but you seem to be in safe ranges for now

@treetrunks is onto something with your intake fan. When I was having temp issues I ended up putting my inline fan on top of my tent with the hose pulling straight from the roof. I set a small fan set on a lower speed to blow across the light and towards the side where the exhaust duct is. When in flower and the light is full I have the bottom of my tent door unzipped and I have the exhaust high enough to scare the dog for 12 hours.


It also gives more space for air to move.

Welcome to the forum! I have a question about where in the tent is your carbon filter/exhaust tubing is located at, (top of tent, above the light)? My setup The carbon filter is at the top of the tent using a Controller 69 with temperature and humidity triggers set on a 6 inch AC Infinity fan, I also use a 4 inch AC Infinity fan at the bottom that is set manually to 1 to suck in fresh cooler air to help the temperatures remain cool in the tent and to get better air exchange.
