sorry dude but you should plan a little better next time. Heat is a major problem, the idea of a remote ballast is to locate it outside the grow area. I hope your plants don't turn hermie on you from the heat or the stress you are causing them.
Good luck
surprisingly enough my plants hasnt gone hermie on me...jus put one 14 or 17" fans and aim it directly at the light seems to to the trick and theres now barely no heat build up...only thing ive notice withe the plants now the new node are somewhat alot more closer then what heyve previously done and the fan leaves are getting longer and wider...dunno if thats to compensate for the extra heat but hey i dunno what cannabis plants look like during their life cycles so its kinda a very fun learning experience for my part! :D and will prepare me for any future grows! cheers for your help guys really appreciate it!
um... my guess...
put in a pot of ace with a fan bliwng down on it.. the cool air will fill up in the pan and over flow outward.. the heat will evapoate the ice so set up a few papertowels (prop them so they dont move from the air circulation) to absorb the moisture in the air
Have some eskimos stay in your grow room.
I definately had this problem before. In summer the therm would read up to 114 with the 600w hps. I got a small ac and installed it, I also got a bottle of co2. The heat definately caused the plants to stop growing.
