Whats your concern, the temperatures or the smell?
A carbon filter in the tent, used with a window vent, should help manage both.
I use one of these Window Vents
But it all depends if you can run a hose from your tent to the window.

Other than likely warmer than fully optimal (I'd suggest 78-80˚F), your temps are OK.
Not stated: Are you currently exhausting out the window or not? How do you control the tent temperature? Are you running the fans constantly or on a thermostat or timer? Where does tent air come from? Is your tent within, getting its air from a climate controlled room or outside air (hot or cold now where you are)?
If your problem is fitting exhaust to the window, there are other types of window vents available, including adjustable. To see some options, try a search for "adjustable ac window vents." Or looking at these, you could just make something yourself.

@Bll sorry for late reply currently exhausting in the house to keep tent is controlled by ac infinity 69 pro my inline fan is programmed for auto mode
House is climate controlled at the moment using outside air to cool room 27 degrees outside I’m thinking making something flowering tent numbers with the windows cracked open

Carbon filter on your intake and a air conditioner window kit at your exhaust is all you need.
I suggest only patch in a carbon filter if it's actually needed. If you can't smell anything outside rather close to the window, odor is not a problem. For whatever reason I haven't needed a filter for years.
If you want to retain more heat from your tent and add it to that room or your house's heat, you can exhaust into the room and run the filter outside the tent (if needed), free-standing in the room. Our grow-oriented carbon filters are generally much more capable that even higher-end consumer HEPA and activated charcoal air purifiers, including cycling a lot more air through the filter. This can also allow you to avoid putting a vent in the window, be more stealthy. Nosy neighbors might ask "What's up with the dryer vent in your [xyz] room?;" and it'd be even worse if vented steam/condensation was visible in cold weather.
