Sounds like your using an open face reflector and very little air is actually being sucked through the tent, or maybe isn't leaving through the top?

Point is, If you are using an A/C reflector with a glass seal. You pull air from the top of the tent, through the hood and out. This allows you to keep heat down not only in the tent, but the hood stays cooler and thus you can get the light closer to the plants.

Like this one:

I'm not saying THAT is the best or cheapest either, It's just the first one I found.
Vancefish Reviewed by Vancefish on . Oh boy, cfl questions. Please help Well I'm in a jam now. I have a 4x4x6.5 grow tent, a 600w MH light with reflector and a 5000btu air conditioner. My seedlings are ready to go into vegetation in a bubbleponics setup but inside my tent it's 102degrees with the air full blast. I certainly will have to switch to cfl's now before I start vegetation. My question is what is the most wattage I could use/purchase to compare to the MH I have. I have six plants and was really excited but now I'm worried as my girls need to get into Rating: 5
