yep, run closed loop straight on hoods and seal em with metal tape

dedicated 8 in fan for exaust w/phresh filter

staightn up any bends....more of a gradual bend

you may be able to connect the hoods with solid hvac shorter piece may help

oh, and get an air-conditioner...lol !

lucky for you.... veg loves these conditions

may want to consider an active intake

Hello everyone,

Happy to say that after adding a second fan (separating carbon filter and reflectors into two circuits), the temperature has dropped 8-9 degrees...

Seedlings in now...will report back in a few weeks.

Thank you so much for the help!

Here is how I fixed my 6x6x6.5 tent heat problems.

1st. Shortened my ducting.
2nd. I have intake and exhaust going out the same window with exhaust on top.

You mentioned you have really good negative pressure on your tent.

I turn off the intake fan and let the negative pressure of exhaust suck in from the intake.

Worked like a charm. Then when it warms up I actually kick the fan on.

I'm from Alberta and it was -42C last week, so I've been feeling your pain.

I run 2 tents on a porch outside in florida. Running all Platinum LEDs and have no problem with the summer heat (tents stay in the upper 80's daytime), having only an exhaust fan. Results have exceeded expectations in both yield and quality.
