Due to the unusual strong summer heat not only am i sweating like a fucking pig but my growbox is constantly under 93F and my plants doesnt like it.

I got 100cfm in and out, before this fucking heat the temp was stabilized at 78F

Any tips on how i can lower it?

how big is the room? I'd go with a cool tube like TANDY said, or for a ghetto temporary fix used frozen two liters. I've done this before on really hot days, but my box is also pretty small.

Try running your "lights on" during night time. I run my light from 7pm - 7am, helps alot.

That and a air cooled hood with a decent inline fan to cool it.

Yea thats a pretty nice idea, how stressed would they be if i switched the light time like that.

Also this space is pretty small, perhaps a 2l frozen bottle would decrease the temperature significantly?

Not to butt in, but i saw a newish thread abt changing light hrs with minimal stress. You can jst add an hour to your timer and subtract one off of it. This way every day that goes by your lights will stay on 1 hour later and turn off 1 hour earlier. Eventually you will reach your desired time.
