Just air condition the room the tent is in with a window unit or something, don't use a "portable air conditioner" with the hose on it, those are extremely inefficient. As long as your tent isn't getting above 27 C 82 F under LEDs you're okay. I'd suggest researching VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and getting an inexpensive thermal temperature gun so you can account for LST (Leaf Surface Temperature) as well.

You want your plants to have a 1.4-1.5 VPD accounting for LST with lights on for optimal uptake and transpiration.
Most modern HOA's don't allow window units :-(

HOA's suck. I would never live anywhere that was in an HOA. I don't need to live by any stupid rules and some dickwad running around inspecting everything I do. Can't have window air conditioners, can't have potted plants, houses have to be painted from an approved list of colors decided by some small group of jerks with nothing better to do than screw with people, can't park in the street, and to top it off you have to pay a fee for that crap.

Then you can get an infraction for violating some stupid rule and if you don't pay they put a lean on your property. I don't understand why anyone would choose to live under those conditions. I can do anything I want on my property and the neighbors don't care just as I don't care what they do.

100% agree & If i had my way I'd live on 11 acres in the middle of nowhere. 4x4 to check my mail & garden. Solar Panels, Starlink for internet, dig 2 deep wells for water & call it a day! Unfortunately, that won't happen anytime soon :(

This. Wealthy white housing projects around here...planned neighborhoods where you get to pick model A, B or C on postage stamp sized lots...and you can only paint your house certain colors or plant certain bushes, etc. On top of that, ridiculous fees. I have a friend who lives outside of NYC and his HOA monthly fees are more than 2K a month.

When we were looking to buy our house, I told our real estate person that we'd decline to look at any houses that were in such 'developments.'

This HOA is diverse af. Plenty of upper middle class people of all races bud. I agree with the overall sentiment however.

I could make a hole in the ceiling and blow the air up there … lol it has crossed my mind .. but I rent this flat. I don’t want to take the piss.. I mean, its easy enough to fix if I was to move..dunno..
I’d buy a duct collar and vent into the ceiling of a wardrobe or cupboard.
Less to worry about when you fix it up and it’s hidden if you have to break the tent down quickly with no trace of a grow.
