Looks like an evaporative air conditioner, might be wrong, it will raise your humidity.
You want to be doing one thing at a time dude.
Is this a good light to use

I could fix the whole but if I run the duct in the attic the heat up there will be even hotter as it’s 25 degrees outside really hot in the attic and nope ac has made it drop about 2 deegrees

my attic is well over 25c as well. If my heat jumps it to 30 or 35c then o well. its still going away from the grow. Im sure on some days its well over 40c up there. None of that affects my grow.
now im seeing your ac is in the tent. well the ac puts more heat out the back then it does cold out the front, so thats prolly more heat then the light itself.

You don't have an old chimney with a vent in it in the room I take it?
Its 25 degrees outside for everyone in the UK , mostly, other people manage with just airflow.
If you want to sell the whole set up then do it, but all you need to do is figure out what wattage light you can run in there with the equipment you have. Less watts is less heat.
Did you try the thermometer where it is now before you put the AC in there or did you just do both at the same time?
Like getogrow says the ac puts cold air out the front and warm air out the back so its the same heat in the same space.
Don't forget when you need the 600HPS on your only going to be running it 12 hours at night time, the LED will veg your plants until then and is much less wattage.

Do you have any existing vents on house like a bathroom exhaust ,dryer vent you could tie it in to an existing vent and neighbors wont notice anything.

You want to vent the hot EXHAUST air from the tent into the attic. You don't want to pull INTAKE air from the attic into the tent. It's not going to matter how hot the attic is before or after, the old hot stale air should be pushed into the attic where you no longer care or worry about it.

Also a better way to run HID lighting especially in Summer is in an air cooled hood... - STELTHY

deff get a 12 inch fan from argos, to blow on your plants all the time. its about 15 quid. that should make the temp more even in this tent. just my opinion.

Whenever you want. Thats a preference thing. Looks like your running out of room so you prolly better switch them to bloom pretty soon. It can triple or quadruple in size depending on the genetics.

Ok cool thanks for your help what light cycle should I do ? Also what do you think of my plant looking healthy ?

Your plant is beautiful !! Go with 12/12 light to flower the girl or leave on 24 to keep growing her. If you think she is ready then start the 12/12 cycle today.

I don’t think she’s ready to flower for a while but then again I have no idea this is my first time I thought it’s got to grow quite a lot bigger yet before flower ? What do you think

Also when do I need to start cutting the leaves so it gets more light ? Or do you not really need to do that ?
