Growbox question

[Smokeit]

This box I designed is 2ftwide, 5ft long, 5ft tall.
And fits pretty snug with pretty good space to operate in.

In the top left hand corner, there is an exhaust fan hooked up to a lightswitch, which in term is also wired to my lights.

The mylar is fixed by the way, it just came a lil loose.
Which the back of the exhaust fan is hooked a 3inch by 8ft aluminum duct tube, and runs out my closet door to my three speed box fan, which pushes the warm air out of the room through the window.

Lately I've had problems with keeping it under 80 degree's, especially when the weather here gets 90-100, and 100+. The AC units does not reach our back bedrooms, and the manager of the apartments we live in, will not let us put a ac unit in the window, or even a fan, so your only option is a portable ac unit, or cheap efficient ways to keep your box cool.

Currently, since today was a rainy muggy day, it dropped tremendously from what its normally at, its normally at 20-30% Humidity with 80-100% fehernhiet. Which I dunno of a good way to drop it down 20 degree's so it stays stable.

Currently there are two fans placed within my growbox, one a high/low speed .35 amp speed fan, and the other a .3 amp one speed fan, to keep the air circulating and keep it by the exhaust fan to push it out.

And back to the lights, I am currently using two t8 fixtures with two daylight 6500k t8 bulbs and two 3000k warm white t8 bulbs for the veg state.
Once I get a lil more money, I'm going to invest into a HP sodium light and a more effiecient venting system.

Let me know what you guys think.
I'm mostly trying to drop the temp from 90's down to the 70's, without raising the heat or using too much money.

Well looks good, one thing I would do is get that connection in that pic into an enclosed junction box. The last thing you want is an open air electrical connection especially that close to wood. I don't want to scare you just trying to keep you safe dude.

Heat wise can you leave the door to your room open ? If so open the door and face the small fan towards the door blowing the hot air out.

Stay safe

for once I agree with the fellow above about the junction box........

Is that exhaust ducting crushed at the end there. If so open it up because it's restricting the air coming out and your fan will have a hard time expelling the hot air in there.

I was about to mention that earlier but forgot, everything else looks good.

no it looks that way cuz thats the end i tried to get around the exhaust fan but ended up kinda stripping it, so i tapped it over. its open. just looks crushed from the outside.

Well currently updated the lights to a t5 fixure 2x 6400k, 2x 3000k
and the heat is still a problem
is there an easy way to put an extract fan in taking air from my room/closet that won't be loud?
would 2x pc fans work?

What do you mean ? Your room (that your grow box\closet) itself is getting hot so you want to extract air from there ?
