I finally opted for: - Reflector XTRA-COOL V2 125MM glass ventilated type cooltube - PLATINIUM Nutrients - Box of 60 CO2 TABS tablets as first solutions to deal with heatstress, but cool tube was a real waste of money only improved heat issue from 1° to 2°C wich is not enough so few week later finally invested in some SpiderFarmer SF2000 200W to replace the HPS wich solved my issue with heat. Temperature with led tent closed is lower than temperature with hps tent open and the temperature rise drastically with hps tent closed.

Them lights get way hot for the value of light emitted,plus the fans probably distributing that heat more than cooling. One way you can test the heat of HIDs is with the back of your hand. This can help you gauge the right grow light distance. Simply place your hand just over the top of the canopy and hold it there for 30 seconds. Your hand should become hot, but not unbearable. If this happens, increase the grow light distance above the plants.
