get an exhaust fan or use one of your fans to blow the hot air out of the room

will like a 6in fan work for exhaust? should i just hook a tube up to it and put it out the window? ive put the fan pointed out the window before and it didnt do much

you need a fan that will move large amounts of air fast. ratings for fans are CFM (cubic feet per minute). you want to exhaust your grow area at the minimum of every 5 minutes, perferribly every 1 or 2.

l x w x h will give you cubic feet. now find a fan that will move the appropriate amount of air. you can find a cheap "can fan" for ~$20-25 and they move up from there.

try that and see what happens.

length x width x height= cubic feet or,

2 x 6.5 x 7= 91 cubic feet.

check around online first. you might find something a little cheaper.
