    i know this is a daft question but are you sure you got the fan running the right way, i.e sucking air out of the tent? also have you got ventilation into the tent. The air been sucked out has to be replaced with cooler air right?

    Just open the vent flaps on the side of the tent. Usually velcro😉

    looking at that pic your ducting is a mess aswel, what about running separate ducting for the cool hood and separate ducting for filter as thats how cools hoods are supposed to be used

    You could just spin the hood round. Then you only have 1 bend either side of the hood not 2. You will have to move the filter from the left hand side to the right hand side.

    You can also lower the filter so it's between the lights and the plants. It's much more efficient when you trying to lower temps.
