i think you can make this work with the fans you have but the problem as i see it is that you are dumping the exhaust air from you cool tube into the room you intake your air from which is raising the ambient temp of your intake air to 75+ degrees
what i do is dump my exhaust air from my cool tube out a dryer vent to outside.
since its never actually been ni the grow room it has no smell and can safely be dumped outside.
this in turn should help lower your intake air and inturn lower your grow room temps
i manage to hold 76 degrees in a 40" X 40" X 79" tent with a 1000watt MH by exhausting my cool tube in exactly the way described keeping my inlet air at 73 degrees

mane2008, noiw I understand I am not the guy to advise on small area grows, but you need to cool the area off. and 1,000 watts put out a ton of heart. Did i go over board on my stats?

Well my air going into the hood is coming from the same room it is on a different end of my basement. The air it is pulling in is about 75F and vents to the opposite side of the room. Both my intake for my room and the intake for the fan are 75F going in, but the damn light is so hot it heats the room right up.
Like I said I have a 110CFM fan cooling my room, a 110CFM fan exhausting the hot air out, a 110CFM blowing into my fan and another bathroom vent blowing onto the fan blowing into my light....lol sounds funny, I have another bathroom vent that is 60 CFM but I thought it would be useless...

A little too much for fans right now, got a wife and kids, and already dropped too much money in my grow room. It is only small for now, I have to develop my basement and I'll have a bigger room, but This room needs to work for a couple months

you can get a nice 6in one for $130 its the cheapest inline fan i know of.
they have the duct booster but they are inefficient and noisy and you dont want noisy.
check out that site i showed you.
i use a 6 inch inline fan to inlet air to my cool tube and another to boost the exhaust but only becaus i have a 25 foot outlet duct.
the 6 inch inline fan runs about 250cfm. so you may want to up your fan to about that.
the 250cfm keeps the glass cool enough that i can keep my hand within an inch of it very comfortably and probably would not be instantly burned if i touched the glass directly.
any more than 250 cfm will obviously only help but im not sure its neccesary

Well see thats the thing, I can without a problem touch the glass and leave my hand on it without feeling uncomfortable, which is weird I know. But the heat is still in the room. I can feel the heat to a point when I put my hand in direct light, but there is never a moment when my hand is "too hot."
As far as I am concerned the glass is cooler and only hits mid 90's on the actual glass.

LOL That's what I thought, but like I said I am new at this whole thing. I would think a 110 CFM fan would be okay for my room as well. I would think Pulling in 110 CF of air in a room with a little over 40 feet would be okay, especially if the air coming in is 75F. But as I was saying 86 is the lowest I have seen an 96 is the highest.
I also have a 14" oscillating fan blowing the cold air coming from the intake to disperse it.

What are the highest temps that marijuana can grow in? my ladies are doing well, I have a grow journal started for anyone who would like to see.

It hasn't been updated in 2 days and most of my plants have doubled in size, except for my weirdo
