Alright i have some questions on how some of you keep your temps right during the summer. Oklahoman here so its already at 75 degrees outside today which warmed my tent to 85. So knowing warmer and hot weather is coming im tryna get this figured out before it gets here. Here is my set up, i have a 3x3 tent in my outside laundry room which has no windows so a window unit isn’t really in my options and i cant afford a 600 ac infinity terraform. In the summer it gets over 100 here. Is there something i can put inside my tent or lung room even too keep my temps down. Any help or ideas im sure someone has ran into something similar.

Is it possible to put a vent from your house into the room.
If so I believe they have vent grills with fans built into them…
The AC from your house can feed into the lung room…
Hope this helps.

A cheap little window unit might do the trick…

You have to reject the heat. There’s nothing much you can do unless you can exhaust it from your lung room.

I’d cut a 4"x4" square somewhere in the top of a wall for exhaust. Then get you a mini split off of one of the used goods apps, like offer up or Facebook market
Add/edit. Put some fine mesh over hole to avoid critters

I have a Black and Decker portable ac in my grow room, and window unit in lung room, I know he said no place for window unit, but with your suggestion of a 4”vent, he could run a portable and use vent for exhaust.

I run my lights on at night and turn off during the day. It helped a lot during summer for me.

I don’t know your situation, but Growdoc’s solution is the simplest. And with a stand alone, you can build a duct straight into the tent with card board and duct tape if ya need to. Install the 4" dryer vent for the AC vent.
This still require a decent size unit, what is the square feet of your room?
You tube installing a window unit, it’s not that hard.
Cost… limited there, but a window unit will probably be your cheapest way out. When you do the math, size it for the room, not the tent. Even the Terraforms require moderate ambient temps.
I have a small room with no central AC. I had to slowly, as I could afford it, put together the pieces I needed, window ac, tent, fans… etc. I don’t adhere to the idea of I’ll do this just for now and upgrade later, I’m a one and done. Gonna hurt either way, better to get it over with for me. I had to wait almost two years, but I just got a chiller for my reservoir, I’m so sick of frozen bottles. That’s the main reason I only grow in winter.
The room the tent is in is the lung room, it needs to be maintained around 75 or lower depending on whether or not there is a tent AC. For just a window unit, the room at 68f would probably be good. My tent runs 10f to 13f hotter than my room, and that goes up pretty quick if the outside temp warms up.
Does the dryer heat up the room? Even spikes can be dangerous.
Cool the whole room. Is it insulated?
Run the lights at night to help offset the heat.
Make a plan on what you want your grow to look like, the steps to get there, and take action.
Sorry for the ramble… just ease’n off this morn’s sativa…
