Suggestions for fan placement?

Hey Everyone,

I have a room built within a room as my flower room, it's approx 3.5 feet by 4.5 feet and 7.5 feet tall...as you can see from the attached pictures, i have a fan vented out near the top, next to the entry (figured hot air rises so higher up would be better for exhausting the warm air), what i'm wondering is what do you guys suggest for fan placement within the room?

With lights on, the room gets warm, i was at about 84 degrees with just lights on after a few hours, with no plants. I was thinking maybe one up higher on the back side to push air towards the outtake and then one in front of the door pushing cooler air from the main room into the room.

There will be an AC in the main room window to help cool the main room in summer.

Thoughts?

Excuse the messy room!

Your plan seems sound, are you ducting the heat right out of the room though? Looks like it just vents to the outer room.
Just make sure you have enough air movement to not have dead air.

I like to have airflow between the tops of the plants and the light. Push that heat out of there.

Yeah, just out to the outer room, my hope was the AC would cool it down, can't really vent directly outside, can't get hoses out (they'd be in the way of other things in the room).

Thanks!

I have an oscillating fan in front of the doorway which should hit that area, then another fan up top pushing towards the vent in the other direction...i turned the lights on for a few hours and it seems to stay around 78 degrees
