So a little back story I had a grow several years back in a 2 foot by 2 foot tent, had 3 autos in there with a 250W hps. Used miracle gro as soil, didn’t use nutrients, had no clue what I was doing. Got a half ounce from 3 plants in total. This year I’ve decided to go about doing it correctly after reading up on some things. I still am a complete amateur and know nothing but know more than I did previously.
a few weeks back I started again with what I thought was a 1.2x1.2m bud box but it turns out it’s a 1x1m. Setup was a 600W hps with non adjustable ballast, 5 inch inline fan with a carbon filter to draw hot air out along with an 8 inch fan on the floor and some ducting running from the outside of the tent just to try and bring some cool air in. Temperatures were running at 39-40 centigrade constantly and eventually my seedlings I put in there looked dried up so I’ve decided to buy an adjustable ballast with a dual spectrum bulb.
Put 4 gorilla zkittlez seeds in a cup of water 48 hours ago and all sprouted. I have transferred these into a 0.5l pot with plagron 60/40 and sprayed a bit of water on them, I have also put a see through plastic container over the tops of the pots with a couple of holes drilled into it and sprayed the inside of that to keep moisture inside.
as of now the tent is running at 26 degrees along with 40% humidity. The light is set as 400W of power to help control the heat. I do not have the oscillating fan turned on inside the tent but have the carbon filter extractor fan turned on and set up to pull hot air out through into a large cupboard built into the wall. I am dubious about extracting through a window as I am worried neighbours will get suspicious about noise of the setup along with me unzipping the tent.
my set up is as follows : 1x1m grow bud tent, adjustable dual spectrum light set at 400W via digiballast, 8 inch fan, 5 inch ram extractor fan with carbon filter, four 0.5l pots with plagron 60/40 soil.
forgive me for the poor layout of this so far.

See that big 8"? vent in the back thats closed?.?. Open that. You need fresh air when you're exhausting. Cool air comes in and hot goes out
Well now listen, sometimes a man has to stand his ground and really the only solution would be for your guests/family to mind their f&@king business
