You need to increase your air exchange. Have your extraction fan at the top of the tent, over the light if possible. Vent heat out a window or the room. You need cold air coming in from the bottom. Fans wont lower the temperatures, only move hot air, if you dont have cooler air coming in. Your inlet to your tent should be 2x your out. With a 6" exhaust fan you should have 2 inlets of 6". Possibly add air ducting too. Good luck!!🍀

I know the pain my friend. I had an entire grow that the buds never bulked up because the last 2-3 weeks the temps got up to 95-100F each day. I have to agree with @hellishjam and suggest an AC unit along with a temp controller. This is the best investment I have ever made along with a humidity controller, it keeps my tent in the perfect range. I attached a simple and cheap temp controller that works well. Good luck with the remainder of your grow. https://www.amazon.com/Inkbird-Max-1200W-Temperature-Controller-Greenhouse/dp/B01HXM5UAC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=inkbird+temp+controller&qid=1561127189&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

My tent was sitting between 29/32c so I bought a 4 litre evaporative cooler for 50quid and I have it outside blowing into the flap and reduced the temps to 24/26c! Really helps. You just have to keep an eye on water levels. But sadly it might be too late for this girl 😢

Hi! Try to make outside of the tent lot colder that way you can direct that cold air in your tent. Oscillating fan would be good also. It looks like you are overfeeding your plants. Phosphorus OD for my looking.. Flush her and reschedule your nutrients. Try 1/3 or 1/2 o what the bottle says that way you don't overfeed and easier to take care of your plants that way. Do you have CO2 input ? it helps to cope with heat little better 😉 Hope you can salvage her , happy growing!

Indoor temperature depends on a couple of factors: i) ambient temperature outside the tent, ii) amounts of watts in there and iii) how big the exhaust is. As the ambient temperature rises, the required exhaust CFM rises exponentially. If this is the case your only option would be an AC

Best thing you can do is pick yourself and your ladies up an air conditioner, doesn’t have to be fancy or huge just one for the right square footage of your grow room

You could maybe open the tent flap or even try freezing some blocks of ice in bottles or tubs and placing them next to your pots.

where are you pulling air from and where is it going? What is the air temp and humidity outside the temp like? You need to decrease temps and increase humidity, no way around that. Start by moving your extraction to the top of the tent, right now you're removing the coolest air from your tent and pulling hot air from your light down into your plants, you want to do exactly the opposite. You also need to do anything you can to increase the humidity, it can be as simple as hanging damp towels in the tent which works just like a swamp cooler. Back the light off and turn the power down if possible, it's far more productive to use less light and have healthier plants than to blast leaves that are barely functioning in light. At the end of the day once the outside air reaches a certain point your only option is air con.
