you can buy an air cooled hood at any hydro store.Go to www.sunlightsupply.com and look at the 6 inch cool sun.You duct the hood to a fan and air cool it.Pretty simple and will cure your heat issue.As a rule of thumb i never let my room get over 86.In the 90's it will stress the plant.At times causing it to herm.

Using a fan or a cool tube does NO GOOD if the door is closed. All your doing is blowing hot air around.

I use to ride a motorcycle while living in the desert and everyone said how lucky I was to always being cool while driving. I always told them to stand in front of the hair dryer for about 30 minutes...thats what it feels like. :hump:

Exhaust the hot air and bring in cool air

Or move to a cooler place.

Its below 32F most of the year here, and barely gets over 95 in the summer.

Plus having central air in your home is a plus. Makes it easy to cool off your grow setup by stuffing one end of the intake into the cold air vent, then in the summer i dont have to worry about shit over heating haha. other wise invest in a cool tube and a fan for it.
