The set is grow tent 3m x 2m x2m I have put 6 x 600 watt lights they have cooling hoods on. Set up 2 rows of 3 with a 6" fan on each row

All fans are pulling fresh air throu them an then out tent an out the room.

I have a 6" fan pulling fresh from outside into the tent this is a 700cfm fan

I then have 8" 750 cfm fan pulling throu a carbon filter.

I have the evolution temp/humd controller an it's always on full speed an temps don't go under 30c

So my question is

Would getting one those wooden box fans that have a cfm rating of 1500 help me at with the temps?

My calculations might not be correct just got off shift lol. But your intake/exhaust ratio should be 1:4 so you have a good negative pressure going on doesnt seem you are in that range.
Since you are running all those lights that would be hard to say if your question would resolve your problem never ran that many lights before. Ever look into portable or fixed ac units?

so saying 6 lights is over kill?

if i do turn 2 lights off an have 4 can easy keep the temps down

plus A/C unit i would love one but its going to be around £700 for a mini split an i dont really wanna throw that cash at it.

was just hoping that if i fitted an fan with bigger CFM i might cool it down more

I say just use the 4 lamps and do nothing else. That's about 45W/sq foot and that's fine. Just my thoughts.
