Hello guys, probably been asked many times, but just to make sure, just put my seeds in to a pots, I have a huge tent indoors 200mx200x1.20m, yesterday was the first day since I put them in, and already noticed a high temperature around 37 degrees, would that affect my girls? I'm running 600w hid bulb

Any suggestions on what should I use to keep it cooler?

Turn down the house ac or get an inline fan. i think majority of heat/moisture control is done by proper airflow
Planted few easy bud seeds, also waiting for a queen gorilla to arrive on the days, well house is old and room at summer getting really hot tho, I already put an extra fan in a tent and leaving some of the vents open to get some cooler air in, apparently heat holds around 34 degrees now, plants are 2 days oldAs LB stated Air con is a start . Humidity could also be a issue , do you know what it is . and what medium are you growing in .

save all your old soda bottles and fill em with water and freeze em. if you were to put several into your tent at a time i bet it would bring down the temp a little.
In other types of growing people rely on ice to cool plants down. I think some people water orchids with ice cubes.
Last summer i decided to try something from the papaver family but it was too hot already for the seedlings. i got one to survive by keeping it cool with ice till it was strong enough to withstand the heat on its own.

If using an HID light in a tent you really need an in-line fan like the ones pictured here That connect to your light Or the duct opening close and to some ducting out your Tent.
So do you have an exhaust fan? (A fan to suck old stale hot air out?) Leaving the vents open to let in fresh air won't really happen unless there's air being sucked out. Also extra fan inside the tent will just blow around the old hot air.
Easiest fix, buy a decent, inexpensive exhaust fan and ducting, and suck that air out and get rid of it away from the tent, leaving vents open to get fresh air in. If that's not an option I have seen people rig up regular fans as exhaust fans but it's not ideal.

Put a window unit or portable AC in the room, as well as like they said an exhaust fan piped to outside of possible, I try to keep my room in the low 70s and keep my tent in the 80-83 range but I run leds
