Since im going into flowering soon, i want temperature control. Im planning on buying an "Inkbird ITC-306T", with the function of day and night time. But i dont have space for a aircondition in my tent for cooling Can anyone recommend a cooling unit working similar to a heat mat

The only thing similar to a heat mat for cooling would be something like ice cubes in zip lock bags... but that's not particularly manageable! They do sell some pretty small "air conditioning" products... this one comes to mind: https://www.amazon.com/LifeSmart-EZcool-Single-Outdoor-Portable/dp/B01DGSN70M/ref=asc_df_B01DGSN70M/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241895017101&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7310736158319258141&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9002619&hvtargid=pla-455362122932&psc=1 The only other alternative is to keep the room your tent is in cool with an air conditioner... if the surrounding room is cool, then your air intake system will draw that in and keep the tent cooler. Good luck!

there is no cooling unit that works similar to a heat mat in existence. for heating you just have to run electricity through a resistor. easy. for cooling there has to be extraction of heat which requires a unit to pump that heat outside, like with an ac. only thing similar to a heating mat for cooling is a peltier module but that is not practical and when one side gets cooler the other side of it heats up so its not gonna achieve any cooling effect in an enclosed environment expect for a very small surface you place the cooling side on.
