Need an idea on where to put some sort of AC to keep temps down.

Can you hang the filter up too with the fan the run the ducting out the top? If you have a ducting running to a passive intake at the bottom of the tent you could just have the AC unit outside next to the passive Intake

The frame of the tent is kind of flimsy so I don't want to hang it, I guess I could just stick an AC on the outside and let it passively suck in. My ducting runs out the top of the tent already, just cant see it in the pic.

There is no way too hook ducting up to my carbon filter, but it pulls alot of air so the AC on the outside should work just fine.

I think hes saying, put the exhaust at the top of the room.

It is, the intake is that white cylinder at the bottom. The ducting/exhaust runs out the top.

I got cha, I'm just a neat freak, if you can't hang the fan and filter ontop to the actual tent poles then you must do what you have to do.

But I think it's a good idea to let the AC passively get sucked in.

Yea, fan and filter weigh almost 20 pounds, it would be unfortunate if it fell on my plants, tent was only 80 bucks so its not the best quality.

How are your temps now ?

Are you venting out to the same room you are drawing air ?

Good, 68-75 and yes but the room stays relatively cool, the problem was the tent.

Maybe throw a broom stick or two for extra hanging support and try to get that exhast fan and filter up. It would reallly save you a ton of room later on
