Ok so for this heat issue, I have tried everything, the original set up vented through the attic and out a vent on the roof, the little wood box that my autos are in and my light is hanging from, was going to be closed off completely with an intake hole, I'm not in Cali right now I'm I'm a hotter humid state and in summer, it's so hot even with my ac running it's 81 at best in the whole house. My attic is probably like 120 at least. When fixing my ducting one day I noticed a board laying over a whole and I picked it up and it was just laying over and opening that 3'x4' that was directly over my little central ac unit which is in my bathroom adjoining walls with my closet I have my grow. All this is in a bathroom of my bedroom. Iv taken filter off and ran fan and ligjt only, iv honestly tried every thing I could think ok. I have it where my lights are off though in the hottest part of the day which helps a little. But right now what is working best is having a fan blowing at the light with another fan oscillating. Temp is best now, but I'm still getting the heat coming from somewhere it's making my central ac run like shit to. Right befor we got the best wave I could run light at 100 with very little heat issues. Now I'm at 75 and having trouble. I'll send some pics that I have for a visual, but let me know if you have questions or are confused

One thing I'm curious about is the spaces round where the vent goes out the top of the closet. It looks pretty well sealed where it goes through the attic, but where it leaves the grow box it looks like there is open space. If that's wide open, and there's a decent seal around most of the rest of the box, then the replacement air would come largely from there into the box, following the path or least resistance. What's the temp in the space between the box and the attic?
I dunno...I may need to re-read in the morning when I've smoked less and can wrap my brain around stuff better.
