So in week 6 veg, indoor 32x32x63 tent. My plants have 6 inches to grow(MAX) before flip to flower to allow comfortable stretch. I just ordered another 100w light identical to the first. HOWEVER today it got to 75, and inside my tent when I got home was 83 with AC set to 70! Sooo with another light on the way for flower, how can I keep temps down?? I got a 230 CFM 4" exhaust fan(inline, after my carbon filter). I got one 4" inlet at the base of tent. No other's at base, though I'm a carpenter/construction guy with badass tape n shit, so if need be I could make another inlet at base.

2ND: pic below, I topped yesterday so I'm curious if I should remove some base leaves.

AC Infinity inline fan with a controller 69. Best investment I've made in a long time. Fan automatically adjusts speed by temp/humidity or VPD. Also put a couple of 6" fans in there just to move air around inside the tent.
I have some corner bar clip on fans planned to order soon. I do have a little foot tall oscillating tower fan that I turn on every morning. So air is already moving.... still need a temp fix, and do i defoliate that first 3" up the stem????

83 isn't hot for LEDs, you can run the temps as hot as 85 as long as the air isn't too dry. Look into VPD In tents though I dont really recommend humidity above 55% in flower because I personally have gotten bud rot in tent grows years ago when running higher temps and humidities. IDK why but the confined space just is more inviting to botrytis.
