I`ve looked at a few different ways of building one of these and they all look great, in the mean time i have found a simpler solution... open the door lol.
Will need to put some ultra fine bug mesh across the doorway but it will do for now

Ok well i can`t get the temp below 33 c when the light are on, looks like i`m going to have to invest in an AC unit... any recommendations on make and model?
Apart from the heat they are still looking pretty good though

I have had the same problems but i found a great solution and it worked, i have the same setup as you and i was hitting those same temps even though i was in cool hoods.
Shorten the pipe down, either cut it or flex some back and tape it, if you have the holes at the top for the extraction pipe then redirect it above and out and the other side the same, buy a cheap 6" extractor fans there around £20/$30-40, put the blowing end on the 1st cool hood pulling air from the cooler side of the room the tent is in.
Doing this method i was sat at 33c even though my system already had a 6" extractor on the very end sucking the hot air through it just needed that helping hand half way through, ended up at 20-23c.

Thanks higherthehigh, i get what you mean but i have a 6 inch fan pulling air in and another pushing out, i think i know what the main problem is... the grow room isn't in a tent, i used to use one but moved house last year and converted an old garage.
I put up a stud wall between the room and the old metal garage door, my cock up was to think i could intake and outtake from the same cavity letting the door work as a heat sink.
All i am doing is pulling the hot air back into the room.
Hopefully this weekend i will have time to redirect the exhaust up through the roof

Thankfully we have had some wet and cooler weather here giving the girls some relief, i now have all the materials i need to alter the exhaust up through the roof... now have to make the time to do it
This is the exhaust and the square above is where it`s going
Even after the heat problems they are still going strong, i`m impressed with the results of the "Hydro" set up so far... they are turning into little monsters considering they have been in for less than a month

Google "swamp cooler" and you'll find a nice water cooled unit.

How old from seed breaking soil is the Zkittles as that growth rate is mega!
Im growing some Sweet Zkittlez from RQS and they were the same so fast at vegging.

Not sure exactly but i think it was about a week, maybe a week and a half after breaking soil that i transfered them to the main pots, so that would make them four or five weeks old

Coming along nicely, I hope venting through your ceiling will help your temps. I did same thing this run, I vented my carbon filter through the ceiling and I can keep temps pretty cool. I also have ac that will kick on if temps get to warm.

Cheers ghost, i hope this does the trick.
How did you vent your exhaust before? and what kind of temperature difference did it make?.

Looks really nice BTW. How do you like those Auto Pots? Is that the model for use with fabric pots? Are there any unexpected downsides to using these you can tell us about?

Hi and thanks SlyTown... yes this is the model for fabric pots, i always used the square plastic ones before so this is my first go with the fabric. So far no downsides to report but its early days.
