Re: Grow tent temp problems,
The oscillating fan wont cool it down any, just helps with air circulation, the motor will actually heat the tent up slightly.
Is your extractor fan on max? Can you extend your intake to a intake from outside?

Re: Grow tent temp problems,
The joys of dialling a groom in....
If the temperature outside the tent is as low as 10c then the higher power intake should bring your temperatures down. 4 inch do not move a lot of air and your 8 inch will be struggling to move the air it should be with only a 4 inch intake.

Re: Grow tent temp problems,
If you have an 8inch (200mm) exhaust fan and it's struggling to cool a room with one 600w lamp you may have some sort of extraction issue. Is the exit air being pumped out of the room?

Re: Grow tent temp problems,
Can't you try pulling air in from the edges around trhe eaves so you have colder, fresh air pulling in?
See I have the opposite problem and I'm in the garage, my temps are too low as I'm pulling fresh air in constantly.
Also maybe try placing a fan over a bowl of ice so it acts as a air con?

Re: Grow tent temp problems,
I’ve got the temps down to 26 when watered to 28,5 when drying out, the intake inline dar ricting is literallly pulling in the air from outside of the building I made a whole in the Lining of the roof and then water proofed and insulated etc so the inline is pulling in air from outside the building which is very cold in U.K. ,
