Cooling a tent. Any dangers with this idea?

I made a pouch to surround the cold air output with panda film and duct tape. I'm running the cold air from my window unit directly to my tent. Temps dropped from 90F to 79F in just 5 minutes and its still dropping. Since cold air falls I'm getting great flow. a fan at ground level in the tent is angled to push the air up. Any safety concerns? Will the cold air raise or lower the humidity?

I've been doing this myself haha, with no problems! It works fantastic!

Love having full control over temps now during extreme heatwaves and only needing my a/c on low + like a temp of 74 will keep my grow closet(3.5x3x7) bellow 75 all day on a 110+f day.

Only issue is to be sure you really get that thing taped up (like a whole roll) because condensation will make ductape practically useless after a little while

Lol. It's a guest room that got converted into a grow/store whatever I don't want to see room. The chaos is from panicking and trying to come up with an idea. Believe it or not its actually pretty clean. When I came home and saw my temps I took off the plastic sheets from the mattress and brought the sticks up to make some kind of plastic tunnel to concentrate to cold airflow. That didn't work at all. Then I tore open the panda film to make the little air pouch to tape to the ducting. Cheap ass duct tape likes to tear vertically so I wasted a lot. Lol, gimme a break I did this in like 5 minutes. But yeah, when Carter lumber sells 100 foot extension cords for $8 I can't help myself.

"Figure it out"...the best advice I've ever received from a grower.

On a seperate note. Just had a cool idea that I posted. I took my trim, froze it, then put it in my trim bin which has a kief screen. I took a back massager and pressed it on the sides of the trim bin and the kief just rained out. So much easier than shaking the bin
