So currently I have 3 digital 1k's in my flower tent (5x10). I am battling high temps and just can't seem to stay get below around 79-80 degrees. I have a 12,000btu AC, 2 6in can fans blowing cold air in all night from outside (outside temps around 55-65 degrees F). My 3 hoods are inline cooled my an 8in can fan blowing to outside the house.

So I've done what I can and put enough money into cooling.

I've been toying with the idea of eliminating one of the lights. You guys think 2 1k's in a 5x10 is good? I have 3 hoods right now obviously, a sun system, yieldmaster II and hydrofarm radiant 8. Could I run 2 1k's with either of those hood or should I invest in magnum XXL's?

I also don't want yield to drop a ton either.

I'm looking for suggestions guys. I'm kinda at a loss at what is the best approach here. Of course I'd like to eliminate to two and use the hoods I have, I just don't want to drop in yield...... :?
 
well if your temps are in the range of 79 - 86 its perfect why take a light out ??? youjust need to feed more is all keep mediums moist as they will hydrate more
 
Iduct my intake to the ceiling where it is hottest and I exhaust at light level and of course canopy and other circulating fans. I add intake and exhaust fans or subtract them depending on the weather.
 
If your room temp is between 80F and 85F but not higher it's still not that bad your bud might get a little fluffier but that's not much compare to loosing 1/3 of your production by cutting a light
