Grow tent running hot

Thanks to all of you guys who offered advice pertaining towards my heat issue.

Here’s an update:

Temps are consistent now, I took off the scrubber for my intake and invested in an Inkbird Max. 12000 Watt Temperature Controll. I also invested in Cooler Shock ice packs and a food grade insulated cooler to make a homemade “A/C”. Works like a charm!

Product Update: I found a much more powerful and safer fan to use for my homemade AC unit. This fan is an inline 200cfm fan used for boats which makes it water resistant and therefore safe from electrical shortages or shocks. You would have to get a 12v adapter to splice for cords and I would recommend a fan speed controller because this fan is extremely powerful. Here are the items I used:

With this new improvement my unit works so well and efficiently it only runs for 2 - 3 minutes at a time. (Since I have it hooked up to a temperature gauged outlet) Now my temp fluctuates between 77-79 with lights on and 72 - 74 with lights off.

@yoshi can u explain what u did for what and how so I take it that you’re talking about airflow in the tent or oxygen

@RamRam what are you asking me sir ?

Just looking at the post above I think you’re talking about CO2 air
