Hello again

So I took some advice and I changed from alfoil to white paint and 5v to 13 for my fans... I'm running 2 24w cold day 6500k cfl's and 1 2700k warm 24w it's running at 29 degrees Celsius and 35 percent humidity... What am I doing wrong

Temp is not awful, could be worse. What is your air intake situation and the air temp of the room the box is sitting in?

As odd as it may sound, sometimes it helps to restrict your intake so that you have negative pressure inside the box. You don't want 1:1 intake/exhaust.

I initially struggled with heat inside a tent before getting it dialed-in.

Have you got a carbon scrubber,or at least some kind of out take fan?You really need something to pull the hot air out.Although cfls give off little heat,in a small grow box the heat will soon build up.Good luck bro
