What lights are you using; how big is your tent?

Try installing an inline fan preferably an 8 inch inline fan and carbon filter. Keep your tent slightly open to help vent the air if you need a cheaper method. Turn on the AC? Um, let's see...using lights that create less heat could help too. Pictures or more detail could help with your situation.

your tents always gonna stay a certain degree higher than the room its in. in other words, with a 1000 in a 4x4 tent air cooled, your gonna run maybe 12 degrees hotter in the tent than in your room. room-70 =tent 82. also dont forget, thats ambient temps. you wanna measure the temps above the canopy too.

you should maintain a negative pressure by having a strong exhaust (through the lights) and passive intake.

no, you only use one fan, you use it to pull the air through the lights and then out the tentkeep the other end of the lights open. it will suck the dirty air out of the tent and clean it in the filter.
im assuming you have vents in your tent right? those flaps at the bottom. if not then open the vent that has an intake right now.
then when its sucking through, its sucking the walls in and sucking air through the flaps "passive" intake. no fan needed it happens naturally.
