Fighting with heat this past week I realized my smart plugs “circulate” function had stopped working on two of the timers, namely the fresh air exchange and humidifier. Finally got some new ones from Amazon and got it circulating. Fresh air 1 min every four hours and humidity 1 min every 20 min for now and it’s staying around 76F and 80% humidity.

More and More Heat
Still an ongoing battle to see what I can do to lower the tent down a few degrees. I’m poking up to 81-82F and I’d like to keep it under 80F. I stopped the tent from leaking by taking down the “passive” exhaust hole I have from full 4″ opening to about 2″. I also improved the incoming fresh air by taking the thin filter I use on front end and moving it to back end, for some reason this fan performs better that way. I tried a make shift Styrofoam swamp cooler but the easiest solution right now is I put one of the ice packs I had on hand on the bottom shelf in the tent. I put the inside $ Walmart fan underneath that shelf and circulate air 5 min every 30 min. I usually put a fresh pack at 11am and that is enough to drop it from 80f to 74f-76f during the hottest part of the day. Will adjust as I go along.
