no money for a ac unit? why not get some pvc pipe about 4 inches in diameter and run it from the intake to the outside with a fan at one end to pull in cool air from the outside? i always set my timers so the lights come on at night since thats the time of day when its the most cool!

i would make a home-made cool tube if i were you. Even if it doesnt intake/vent to the outside it should still help.

Oh yeah and my last grow was in a high-80s-90 degree box and it worked just fine.

with proper air flow and venting temps can get up to around 90 or more and it will be fine. outside gets to be 100+ fahrenheit
around here sometimes and is usually in the 90s but they dont die, not to mention how hot it is in mexico usually where alot of our weed comes from they dont die. i always wondered about this too till mygirls explained it to me
