I found an old cabinet in my basement that I'm making into a grow box. You can see a diagram of it below. (As you can tell.. I'm no artist) For starters I installed 3 26watt 1850 lumen CFL's. I've discovered that if I leave it closed with the lights on it can get as hot as 87F. If I leave the doors open it drops to 75-78F with lights on but its not really feasible to do this 24/7. With lights off its about the same both ways, it stays 65-70F. Is this going to be way too hot especially if I add additional CFL's? If so, would adding C02 into the equation make this setup usable?
