New grow tent..Heat Problems. help needed.

[chaosridden]

I have this from HTG Supply...

Only thing is there are acually 4, 5" holes and 2, 4"holes. I have an 80 cfm inline duct fan exhausting out the upper back 4"hole. There are vents along the bottom. It is in the closet but there is air flow to the closet.. I was thinking maybe i need another fan exhausting out the bottom back hole? I dunno any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Also Im using a 400watt Mh for veg and 400watt hps and a few cfls for flowering.

vent the lights, they cause the heat

hmm... well. say im on a tighter budget. I cant afford a aircooled hood. eventually i will definatley just vent the light tho. but until then is there any other way?

I'm with DaMago...if you don't vent the lights then you're definitely going to have to kick up the CFM flow. I would try sucking some air in from outside the closet as well as exhausting the hot air from the top outside of the closet.

I have the DR120 (same approximate size as yours) with an air-cooled 400W HPS, the temps stay down and the plants can practically touch the glass on the hood. It's completely worth the investment.

Do you have a fan circulating air inside the tent?
