there is a thread on here just for people that have them hung in side kind of neat .. why would I need to have it in a window and there is 0% chance I can cut a hole for it to fit when I first got it was putting out like 150f out the back and 70 out the front lol

You should have at least 8" ducting and inline fan sucking the heat of that ac. You cannot just let it blow out the back.

I see a couple things that will help u.. Your plastic tote on back should be upgraded. It would be nice if you could pull air from outside thru back of ac then out the shaker diy...
Secondly you arnt really accomplishing much BECAUSE your 6" vent is un insulated.. Its like a hot metal tube putting heat off right back in your grow room... Go to lowes and get you a 25 box of insulated ducting.. I bet it will drop it 5 more degrees... Prob get 10 if you redo the tote shaker unit..

why not its so strong I have to screw the top on bc it keeps popping off even with the side locks?

all I have is 6 inch and its id say 2ft long and then its out side

also every one the heat was there before the ac I got the ac to bring down the heat and it kinda of was working but was not where u would really want It was about 100 all the time in there got the ac cam down to high 70s but now every day out side is in the damn 100-115 feels like

Put a 6"inline fan on it and you temp will drop i promise. Not my first rodeo, I've ran ac's like that for years. The ac will run even better with the 8 inch.
Temps at 105 degrees... your lucky nothing has started melting yet
