[Tent Heat Issues] Help me please, first time grower with a heat issue.

Hi.

I live in a apartment in washington and I got the ok to grow legal but only enough for myself not a lot
anyway I have a huge issue I bought all the stuff but when I set it up its way too hot in there and I cant even stand in the tent.
So please help me i beg you so i can start

I have a 4x4x7 tent pretty big - 2 6in holes on each side, 1 6in hole on top, 3 passive flaps on bottom, 3in hole on bottom left side, 3in hole on back top, and 2 circle holes for wires.
I have 2 air cooled hoods 2 400w hps/mh
1 little circ fan
4 3gal pots
1 6in inline w/ 1 carbon scrubber
2 240cfm duct booster fans

how can I set up this with stable temps to grow?

Hi bro,

Where are you dumping the exhaust hot air?

Are you relying on passive air intake or do you have an intake fan?

Open a window or have a more direct airflow, avoid bends and kinds in tubing, regulate the secondary 400w HID

Intake and exhaust the light hoods from outside the room the tent is in (no moving smell). This will cut a lot of heat out!
This all depends on you're ambient temps in the room! You never know, it maybe just as simple as the "Sith Lord" said,,,,OPEN A WINDOW!!
But, In summer, you may need to in the room with the tent, put a stand-up AC unit. Set the AC to required temp and run it (you will need to run the AC's "hot" exhaust out of the room also and you may need to control the scent from that too, depending on where you send it).

I hope Vostok is correct....it's easier
