Also looks like you are trying to pull heat from the floor. You should be pulling from the top of the tent outside. Keep the fan u have there for intake.. and put an AC in the room to keep it cool so you can pull that air in.. put the 8 inch fan up top and exhaust the air out.

What kind of fan do you have pulling air out?

If that's all you have right now.. I'd swap it to help remove heat and have the vents open for passive intake for now. See if that can bring your temps down a little.. but an air cooled hood would do better probably. It runs the fan thru the light.

It might help to raise the reflector more toward the exhaust fan. They should still get plenty of lumens for their size still with the reflector pushing the light downward. The intake fan could be utilized as another exhaust.

Do you know what one of your fans has the higher CFM?You want the higher CFM one as your exhaust or heat will build. Also, give fresh/cool air access to the outer room.

You should hang your thermometer/hygrometer from a string so it measures the air and doesn't take build heat from what it is sitting on.

Try those options before spending more $.

Also running your light over night can save some temp. In the winter shut the heat vents to the outer room when the light is on and the room temp will drop. Well it does if your house has shitty insulation like mine lol

raise that light up, those are young plants, they dont need that much light just yet and raising it up will lower the temps near the seedlings as well.
