cooling a hot room

May I ask why no cooltubes? Would defiantly solve your friends problem, other than that as much air flow as possible and as Nay said, active intake.

yea would solve alot, spent the money on the normal shade lights might as well use them for now also bugger all money cheers for help

A cashless way of improving the temperature range is to run the lights at night and have them turned off during the warmest part of the day. Work with rather than against the ambient temperature.

yea done that cheers for help

The cheap way to control temps is what you are doing now.

 

Since you don't want cooltubes you should at least add an intake fan.

when flushing ya p[lants at harvest just gota make sure ya ph is in check mate, 2 or 3 flushes will get rid off all nutes and ya fans leaves will start to yellow off

You have 3 options if you want to continue running 1800w:

 

1) get an air conditioner

2) get cool tubes

3) replace the air faster.

 

AIr con will run your bill up like crazy.  Cool tubes would be your best option as they're not massively expensive and extremely cheap to run.  If you replace the air fast enough it simply doesnt have time to heat up but having fans running hard enough to do that is extremely noisy.  Personally I would go cool tubes simply because its the best long term solution available. 

 

As for flushing it should be done with only ph adjusted water.  The idea is to wash out the nutes and let the plant use up what it has stored.
