Aqueminianswered grow question 3 years ago I live in SoCal. I run my AC with 2 windows cracked slightly on both sides of the room. 1 T6 intake on low on the floor of my tent, 1 small fan moving the light heat away from the canopy. 1 T4 exhaust on high directly next to my lights to pull heat.
Ac is outside the tent. Seems the air flow goes into the tent, exhausts up to the ceiling and runs out the windows. My temp stay from 74-85F (85 during a heat wave of 100+) my RH stay between 45 and 55. Day to night. If my windows are not cracked my RH goes to 65 and stays there. I do not use a dehumidifier at all.
Probably not helping you out but it's what I do. Smell isn't a problem for me either.
