Best way to cool down tent/ temperatures

What are some easy and effective ways to cool down my 5x5x7 tent

I have to use a window ac unit faces into the tent. South Texas gets hotter than hell. This works perfectly for me and my 2 HLG lights. :+1:

I don’t have any windows unfortunately. I have to hide my girls…My tent is hidden threw a secret door :shushing_face::shushing_face:.lol so no windows. Any other suggestions? I was thinking maybe a mini ac unit?

Be aware that portable AC units put out an awful lot of heat and the exhaust will most likely have to directed outside of your grow space.

Like @MidwestGuy said portable ac unit will need to be vented out of grow space. I use one and works well. Compressor puts out lots of heat.

What would you suggest for a hidden grow to keep temps down??. I got a dehumidifier and a humidifier,fans,exhaust unit to a hole in the wall to outside…it’s not even summer yet in WI and I’m already gettin to hot. It was easier to keep perfect temp in the winter . Lol

My window ac sits on 3 different 5 gallon buckets. It can’t go into a window or the wood will rot in less than 2 weeks. It gets way to hot and humid on the Gulf Coastline down South Texas way.

If you have a small room that you can Control the temperature an humidity an pull the fresh air From that space to your grow space. Good luck.

Maybe finding another way to manage humidity or let it be less than idea? Dehumidifiers put out quite a bit of heat as they do their thing too.
