i have recently purchased a grow tent 1.2x1.2x1.2 i have just had a small 100w bulb while my seeds sprouted.now i have come to use my 600w hps and i find my temp goes sky high.it was a complete set with extractor fan and exaust,light and tent.i thought with everything being together it would give me the right temp,i also have a fan inside my tent bringing in fresh air.my temp got up to 93 it goes down to a nice 80 when i leave the door open but its not the point.can anybody help me on the situation?

I am assuming you have an air cooled lamp, and if that's the case you may need a larger fan to exhaust all that hot air. I would also say 600w is a bit much for that small of a space. Maybe scaling back the wattage would help your temps. Other than that, all I can suggest is putting a direct A/C flow into the tent.

no mate no air cooled light. just a carbon filter exaust and my light.with a fan inside my tent bringing air from out side.

Ok, then an air cooled hood would probably be a worthy investment. You could directly vent the hot air out of the tent and avoid a good amount of your hat problems.

Smoking Gun is correct, a air cooled hood would do the trick.

Cool the bulb. Pyrex bake a round(ebay). Attach vent hose to glass tube, then to extractor fan, then out through filter. You will be venting the tent through the light, then out the filter.
