ok. first off im a little broke right now but looking for any ideas that may help me.
im doing an indoor grow in a homemade box. i have 4 55watt CFLs and 2 120mm comp fans. exhaust has a rating of 74CFM and the intake im not sure the rating for it. the temps with the lights are go anywhere from 90-99 degrees. around like 74 with the lights off. maybe i have too many bulbs for the area? or is there any way to get some cooler air to my baby? any ideas are greatly appreciated.

hmmm... what kind of CFM should i look for? around 100? or more? and are comp fans ok? or is there a better way to go without drastically increasing the price?

Depends on the size of your box. 1) Make both fans exhaust and make a passive intake. 2) Or make both fans exhaust, buy one more fan for active intake and make a passive intake as well to fill the space (my suggestion if you are willing to shill an extra $10 for the extra fan)

hmmm. would switching to a duct fan be better? i need some options here that dont involve cutting new holes. any decent fans that i could possibly switch to?
