Buy an inline fan and some ducting to vent the heat out of the tent. The size of your tent and type and wattage of lights you're using will determine what size fan you should get. I'm a newbie having produced only five successful grows. My next grow will be in a 36x36x72 tent with a 400 watt hps. And I'll be using a 6" fan.
Everything you need you can get online or at an indoor or hydro grow store.

You need at least an inline fan and an extract to keep the temps at a suitable range. 37 is fucking high man! You need to bring it down at least 10 degrees

let me make this clear, exhaust over intake, you want the heated air in not cool air added. get a exhaust fan and carbon filter to go over it

How much would this cost as i am new to all the temperature control stuff i do not know exactly how i can get it all to be fixed and controlled i have even added another fan in there and it doesent even drop the temperature. Here is a link of a inline fan from my grow shop would this be ok?

How much is your budget man? You get what u put in really....

What fans have you got in ur tent? Just Oscillating fans? Have you not got an extract fan? If you have just got 2 oscillators its not gonna cool it down it will just be circulating stale air around. Cannbosh is right in what hes saying but in an ideal world you would want an intake to bring fresh air in, an extract to take all the air out (with carbon filter) and An oscillator!

You can buy an SMS fan controller for your extract with a temp guage to measure and keep ur room at a desired temp. Or a twin one for ur intake and extract. Look it up brother

fans dont cool the air it just pushes it around you need to get inline for outtake atleast or there is no point in trying a grow you will just run into lots of probs

you can get away with just outtake thats what the flaps on the tent are for passive intake gotta create some negative pressure tho
