what is the temperature of the air that is coming into the room (hint, check it outside the room close to where is is coming in, about a foot away)?

well I guess if you already have another fan to put there (just make sure it will be pushing no less than 50% volume of room, and no more than 75% Volume of room) Your exhaust should pull 1.25-1.3 of rooms volume (increase by 15% for every turn the ducting makes at more than a 45 degree angle)

You hang the fan and filter with plumbing strap in the plumbing department. Right next to pvc stuff. The fan is taped to the filter and you hang a strap Round the filter and then around the duct on either side of the fan all as one peice and it will stay. Hang screwed into studs and it will be fine.

Oh yea that's a tiny window. Forget that idea. Your temps outside your room is fine mine are the same. Gotta get the airflow going better. Let us know if the small intake one helped

Nice! Plastic is better for noise travel and for mobility. Able to bend and more flexible than metal. But that should work fine for your fan.

looking pretty alright there :D . I just planted some about a week and a half ago. I'm comparing their growth to cuttings I took the same day. in about 5-7 days your going to want to increase the pot size and transplant. The less you transplant the better, so if they could go into your finishing size container would be good, the amount of space your pots takes up can drastically increase the amount of light you need.
If you do switch light source at transplant, keep your 1000 a few feet away from the plants so you dont fry them. Use your hand as a light/temperature meter (even though I use thermostats with barometer to tell temp and RH, the best indicator is my bare skin, always. again you can see all of these techniques being used in my journal, if you care to pop by, Ima update it in a lil bit.

I grow my seedling under such little light outside the grow tent. T5 fixture but a couple bulbs from Home Depot the right spectrum would be fine for several seedlings. I transferred mine to the tent under the intense light once it had 2-3 solid sets of leaves, not including the tab leaves that pop up first. Especially for you with all that heat. But gotta figure that out. The temps you said you have in and outside of the grow just sounds like your going to need more ventallation.

I think even 2' light distance with 1000 watts is going to be too close for heat. Unless you can get a cooled light hood your gonna have to rig up something or get an ac.
