Help with air cooled light

Whats up all, Ive got this new problem with my grow lab. I am in a 4x4 hydro hut with a 600watt air cooled hood. I have a Vortex blower fan it is a 6in and I think it said 449cfm. Even with the blower fan running my room is still 90 degrees. I run my lights at night too. I have had to have the then unzipped and my a/c shoved in there to keep it around 80. Any tips? The Air gets taken from outside the tent and run across the light then goes out the other side of the tent. I havn't got the other duct to make it got out the window after. Is this the problem. I hear of people putting the light like 6 inches away with ac hood. Whats up. I got real good pics if needed.

Hi Edux,

It sounds like your Exhaust is just cooling your light and not exhaustin your room/tent. You could either run another fan on a thermostat, or maybe run your setup like i have mine.

I have passive intakes into the room with odorsok carbon filters. Then my fan(6in vorex, same as yours) sucks air from inside the room through a carbon filter, throuh the light, through the fan, an then to the outside.

like this Carbon filter=>light hood=>Vortex=>outside

with the passive intakes, you always have cool fresh air comin into the room, and the light is being cooled effectively, and the smell is killed by the carbon scrubber all done with 1 fan.

This creates a bit of a vacume in the room, depending on your intakes, so smell directly outside the room is minimized also.

might help.

I am using co2... That would suck all the co2 out of the room wouldn't it?

yes... this setup wouldn't work with co2. didn't know you were using that.

I have read that you can run temps up to about 95 if your running the right amount of co2. That was in The Cannibis Grow Bible by Greg Green.

otherwise a controller might help, as they turn off co2 when teh fans on and when the light is off. maybe a portable ac.... I've always wanted to do a small closed circuit grow with co2 and temp controlled by a little portable room ac. Done properly, you lose none of the co2.

i don't know.. im just rambling.

i haven't had to deal with this problem yet.
