Get a real exhaust fan such as an inline fan
Here is a good link to a few for a good price: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/valueline-centrifugal-fans-c-76_629.html

my temps were at 90 for a while....was never really a problem...they grew fast and strong...fans will create windchill that ur thermo wont pick up..so if ur at 90 with lots of fans...ur plants are feeling like 80...
i just created a larger space for the plants and now i max out at 85. by that i mean...i had created a square with sheets of wood. i basically opened the wood to allow air to flow out...and im stable at 85
not sure if that helps you

See those two fans? They suck
They are not strong enough to cool your tent
What wattage light are you using?
I would ditch that bathroom fan crap and get a real inline fan such as the ones I linked previously.
That is your only option besides buying a portable air conditioner
Growing weed is an expensive hobby and if you want your plant to have a good environment you need to research FIRST so that you can buy all the things you need in one try instead of trial and error and wasted money
plants like 75-78 degrees. if you can, keep them there 24/7. i always over do fans, go big. these links should help.

tom i have checked out your grow journal and me and you have the samr type of setup infact it looks like you got the kit i got from the same retailer the reflector i got earler this week but it is the same light from the kit...... they said it would b a week or so b4 they had more fans in stock or i would have got a fan with the reflector so i went with 2 fans from lowes for around 30.00 they just run exhaust on the light

That fan would work 10 times better than the 30 dollar ventilation you have now
Save up and get that fan and it will replace those two easily

those fans you have would be a lot better for intake fans. They don't "suck" but you may not be using them correctly
