Te dehumidifier is raising my rooms temps around 15 degrees. Is there any secrets to counteracting this? Can I exhaust the hot air outside or is the hot air the dehumidified air and it needs to stay in the room?

Ya, just exhaust out the hot stuff. Make sure you do not put a strain on the dehumidifier by using too small of a vent. Use a big one. How much air change do you have in the room? Just a side thought, a window a/c unit will decease the humidity and cool the place down.

Dehumidifers are always exhausting warm air...you can increase your air circulation with another fan or a stronger one to bring the temps down.

I was trying to avoid an A/C unit even though I already have the unit. I'm trying to keep my power costs at a minimum. After this harvest I am also investing in a new carbon filter and inline fan as well.
