hey guys i just built a 4ftx2ftx3ft box and painted it white and sealed it with silicone made a nice door on it and insulated that too.. my question is instead of making holes in the box for an intake and exaust fan would i be able to place a circulating fan in the box to keep the air moving inside and then use the homemade co2 tutorial to provide c02 to the plants within the box...?
im going to be lighting the box up with about 10 or 12 100w cfls

the box is placed on the rafter of the garage.. temps in the summer get to about 100 here so i would expect it to get no more than 100 up there keepin in mind the garage is cool because of the cement floor

an ideas??? questions comments???

Your plants are going to BAKE! Your only bet is to mount a window AC unit on the side of the box. Haier makes one $99 at Walmart and you would be set.

can you keep them in a basement or somewhere else? if you put them up in the rafters the fact that you got a cement floor is pretty worthless, lol, heat rises my friend. by 100w you mean 26w, right? the 100w part is the incandesent wattage needed to put out that much light. if im wrong on that abd they really are 105w cfls your gonna need a much much bigger area.
