I was also having temp problems. I had a passive intake and an exhaust fan just like yours. I switched the fan around so I now have a passive exhaust and the fan is sucking in cool air from outside. Made my temps go from mid 80's to mid 70's.

Thanks for the idea. I think I will give that a try.

Here are a few updated pics of the ladies. They are growing much faster than I expected. I put a 2 liter bottle with fermenting sugar water in it to add co2 and have noticed them growing faster since I did that so I guess its working. They are now 8 days old. How do you guys think these are looking so far? For 8 days old are they looking ok?

sweet, keep it up

That looks so cool. Mind if I ask but do you live at home with your rents or on your own? I would like to grow and I was considering an AG or something like this and I was pondering on how bad the smell would be if I grew it at home.

I really like the set-up.

I have a town house and this stays upstairs in my bedroom where no one usually goes. This is my first grow so I couldn't say yet about how the smell will be. I am looking into carbon filters for when that time comes. Hopefully it won't be too bad. Thanks for stopping by!!

That's pretty cool. I really really want to do this I'm just concerned with heating problems like you seem to have trouble with.

Do you think you could list all the parts you bought? I just might start to do this.

Also, do you plan on letting the plants grow to be huge or somehow keep them short? If so, how would you do that?

Here is the list of things I bought:
2 30 gallon tubs
2 18 inch 3 socket light fixtures
2 1-1/2 pvc elbows
4 40 watt 2700K cfl's
2 23 watt daylight cfl's
2 cans of Krylon Fusion white
4 cans Krylon Fusion black
1 120mm computer fan
1 4 inch desk fan
1 package of foam weather stripping
1 cell phone charger to wire the computer fan
1 extension cord
1 power strip
1 light timer

I think thats about it. If I remember anything else I will add it.

I plan on lst'ing these to keep the short and to expose more light to the lower part of the plant. Hopefully increasing the yield!

I have noticed today that the leaves of 2 of my plants are curling upward. Nothing is discolored. They look healthy other than the curling. I am thinking this is heat stress. The temp in the box has been staying in the mid/upper 80's. Does this sound like heat stress to anyone else or could this be another problem? I will try to get pics up asap.
