Cold and wet towel in front of ther fan might cool down the tent a bit but it will mostly raise the humidity in the tent but that is as good as cooling the ten. I suggest you read about the VPD chart: http://www.just4growers.com/media/23631/vpd_2degree.gif If you have a freezer you can put lots of ice in a box and fan blowing in there and small opening for the cooled air to flow out of the box. Kinda like DIY AC unit but you have to change the melted ice pretty often tho..

Hot Temps that's impossible to control... .... 1) air flows the most Important thing make sure the air flow is at its best it can be 2)make sure your feeding soon as the lights go off this help the food stay in the soil. Coco what ever for the most amount off time possible. 3) make sure u have a decent out take sucking all the hot shit air....

evaporative coolers -- same concept -- don't work so well, but techinically will absorb heat from the environemnt when water evaporates over time. increase surface area as much as you can and it will improve what it does. if you need more than a couple degrees cooler, this won't do much to put it in proper perspective. Condensing air works too, like with a fan and forcing it through a smaller opening. As with evaporative cooling, this will not have a big enough impact for the effort in all likelyhood.
