Back when i used hps, it was enough for me to use one fan blowing air directly on to bulb, and a fan for air exchange. This was 400w hps, i guess that 1000w hps creates a lot of heat. :/
Are you pulling cooler air from the botto and exhausting the heat through the top?
Hey! Thanks for the advice, I did purchase a new fan and installed it yesterday. I will have to update this thread later with pictures. One question, what do you mean by not through the light?
I was meaning like its best to suck the air through the carbon filter,maybe have the fan sucking hot air from the light instead of pushing cool air over it.Really I dont have s nice set up and equipment like you so this is just my thinking
Nope, from the top of the tent parallel to the ducts

So basically put the fan in front of the light to extract more heat instead of pushing the air through? It is alright! I am just grateful that you are taking your time to give me advice or help me out!
Hey friend, from the looks of the first picture it looks like you might need a bigger intake? Maybe active instead of passive? It just looked like the tent had ALOT of negative pressure. That helped me in a similar situation. The exhaust can only do so much, so if your outside tent temps is 10° cooler I bet adding air in will help the situation. But keep the pressure negative.
Sorry.
Basically you want to suck or blow more air into the tent. (Just a little less than you're exhausting. That will create negative pressure. Negative pressure ensures your smells don't leak out and basically means you're exhausting more than you're bringing in.)
You could open the doors but that would defeat the purpose of the tent. So one example setup would be:
1. duct --> Smaller (less CFM) "Intake" fan into tent. (This brings in fresh, cool air)
2. Carbon filter --> duct --> light --> duct --> larger (more CFM) "exhaust" fan --> 6inch duct --> Mother Nature.
If you want to spend more cash put your lights and filter on separate fans. So:
1. Same as before
2. Duct --> light --> duct --> fan --> duct--> world
3. Filter --> fan --> duct --> outside world.
Just some ideas to chew over.
you need to let more air IN to the tent. there should be an intake (or two) located somewhere near the bottom of the tent walls. Yes, you want negative pressure to keep odors from escaping, but as said earlier from someone else, the first pic looks like you've got TOO MUCH negative pressure. like the fans are searching for air to blow out. air needs to be able to flow somewhat freely into the tent.
no... leave your fans and ducting alone for now... look around the inside of the tent... on the walls, somewhere in the lower half of the wall, will be what sort of looks like a short shirt sleeve or maybe a small round velcro door (depending on tent manufacturer).... this is meant to be an intake. sometimes people mount an intake fan here to bring fresh air into the tent, but in your case, I'd start be just opening that vent to allow free flow. this is called a passive intake (just a vent with no fan).... if you mount a fan there blowing in, then it's an active intake.
