Checked my temps today as it was another hot one. To my dismay, temps were still reaching 31oC. I think that maybe there are too many vents open (this tent has intake vents all over it!) I might try closing some up to try and get a proper air flow going on in there (God bless duct tape) and leave only 1 or 2 open.
Till I get that done, I have raised the lights a little, as i think thats why the plants are all twisting.
you should close all the vents and get a run of 6' ducting hose and draw your intake air from the coolest spot you can, if you have no AC in your house draw cooler air in from the outside.

Loving the set up.
Really digging the plants man. Do you trim any branches or leaves, or are my plants just uber bushy?
--------------------
In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.
I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.
See what you think on my first try.

Thanks for the advice guys.
I covered up all the vents/ports but one. When i put a piece of paper over it, the airflow holds it up against the tent. I'm not sure how it will work out, but when I checked the exhaust (It vents outside a window) the exhaust air was much warmer than I remember, which to me is a good sign  I'll keep an eye on it tonight, and if all goes well, I'll lower the lights again
Wire5: Nah I don't trim my plants at all, although I did cut off siome sick leaves and leaf secions. I think its probably just the angle of the photo's. I was trying to show the stems of the plants.
I've attached some foliage photo's below
Plant 1
Plant 2
Plant 3
Plant 4
Plant 5
 
Some of the leaves look massive to me, lol, so i took a picture of one next to a bic lighter. This may be normal, but theyre the biggest leaves I have seen so far. There are similar sized leafs on 3 other plants.

I also noticed the sweet smell of cannabis as i rounded the corner.
I quickly cut some ducting from the cooltube shortening it. It was way too long anyways. And I used it to connect the other end of the cooltube to my carbon filter. I did not suspend it, as I had nothing to suspend it with, but I reckon the poles of the tent would not support its weight anyways.
Here's a pic of the setup. I am currently looking for another way to suspend it, but it seems to be working fine for now.
Cheers

EDIT
Since having this posted up somewhere else, people told me to get the prefilter on the carbon scrubber, or i would clog it and half its life. So I've put the foam-ie filter back on the scrubber.

your plants are twisting can the leaves are curling inward due to heat stress... Gotta figure out a way to bring down the temps in there.

I've got the temps down now which should stop the leaf curling. Ppl on another forum tell me that the twisting is a ph problem. I'll start working on that from my next watering

I adjusted my light to start at 9pm and finish at 3pm. That way, the plants are only in temps above 30degrees for maybe an hour or two, then lights switch off. And by the time the lights switch back on, its usually only 27o.
I've run this cycle for 1 day and the 2 twisted plants look almost 100% better.
Plant 2 is almost cured. Plant 5 is half fixed, hopefully after tomorrow, it should be better also.
A group shot
Plant 2 which was hella twisted yesterday, looking much better now
Still has slight inward curling at the edges of leaves, hopefully my new light cycle should fix that.
Anyways, today was feeding time, so i watered with nute solution at a ph of 5.8
I'll see how the heat management is with this light cycle. If i decide its not enough, I will buy a portable aircon unit for my bedroom (nextdoor to my growroom) and I will use some ducting to go from my room to the tents intake during those crucial hot hours.
Cheers

Here they are:

Just purchased a 1.5hp 3.2kw portable air conditioner unit. Getting used on ebay for $220. Not bad since its near new, and rrp is over $500.
Gonna set it up next door to my growroom, and will have my tents intake ducting aircondioned air from my bedroom on hot days.
It will hopefully be the end of my heat issues

You should be careful about buying used portable AC units....does it have a decent warranty? I've gone through 3 new ones in 4 years, my first two died after only 5 months of use, mind u they were on 24/7 lol the one i have now just croaked aswell, luckily its still under warranty. honestly if you have a window where one will fit buy a window AC unit, not portable. they work MUCH better and don't see to break as easy.

cool, I dont think I have any viable windows but ill look into it.
I just recieved my second Attitude order today. So I have almost 30 beans i want to pop now, lols, but think its too late to add em to my grow. I was looking forward to trying the pineapple chunk, super lemon haze, la confidential & white widow. Not to mention the Heavy Duty Fruitys and other freebies I got on my last order.
I think ill just pop a couple of these Critical Jack Autos and chuck em in the tent alongside my chemdogs, I guess its never too late to add those guys
As for the non-auto seeds, they will have to wait for my next grow.

ya those auto seeds will grow to maturity in the time it takes to flower your chemdogs so might aswell throw'em in, used the same logic for putting my lowryder2 auto's in the tent. will be interesting to see how they do, herd the plants will stay real small...

My brother and my mate keep asking me "Can we smoke it yet?" lol
Maybe I should chuck some of the auto's in there. I've read that some strains are ready from seed in just 9weeks!
Anyways, I watered 3 of my 5 plants yesterday. The other 2 were still wet according to my moisture meter. So i'll check those 2 later when the plants wake up.

Hahhaha, yeah. I wish I could smoke some already. I might do a couple seeds and chuck them straight in just to see.
I wish I had more beans to play with as well. Or at least genetically female beans.
Good to see you still have 5/5 healthy plants.

Having fallen in love with coco, I couldn't wait to pop more of the 20something seeds i've recently had delivered (Also plan to order a pack of Herijuana from Sannies, then I've told myself no more after that purchase lol). Anyways, the only seeds I could add to my grow without disrupting my current grow in progress would be an autoflowerer. The only auto's I have got are the "Critical Jack Auto's" by Dinafem seeds.
I Germinated 2 seeds on sunday afternoon using the wet paper towel on a plate method. Anyways, after only 48hrs, these seeds have cracked and have tap roots almost an inch long I was quite surprised, as my chemdogs roots were nowhere near that long after 48 hrs, i take it as a good sign
I planted them into Disposable Plastic cups, 250ml, using coco as the medium. I have pierced holes into the bottom of the cups for drainage.
Wish me luck with these femmed seeds. I hope to raise these ladies mistake free, unlike my chemdogs lol
For the timebeing I have the cups sitting on my windowsill. I'll add them to the tent once they sprout.
