Is that with lights on or off? Is the box outside? Do you have ducts for ventilation?
If its indoors, try raising the ambient temperature of the room it is in.

Yeah, thats pretty cold for indoors.
The box shouldn't get any colder than the room temperature, so go from there. Instead of heating up your whole house or messing with your vents, you can just get a small space heater and put it in the room. Preferably one with a thermostat. Just be careful with the heater and set it up properly and not near anything that will burn. A little glass-top table works well for that. One less thing you have to worry about.

Your welcome, good luck. On the bright side, most people have problems battling high temps. You got the easier of those battles.

Cool another east coast Canadian grower like myself!... hell when its 50's or lower outside and feels like 30's. ( or 1°C for my fellow Canadian) makes for great temps growing indoors! My cab has been cooler then ever haha!and has bring out the purple's and deep blues in my strain! I get about 55-60 at night. and 70-75 during the day tho! ( a perfect 15 Degree difference! ) So must be in a nice cool spot!

Check it out! You'll find it anywhere online that colder temps for your night can/will bring out the purple's/blues in a strain! Tho some are just naturally purple .. but Normally a 15 degree difference between your days and nights can cause the purple to come out! (like in fall temps how the leafs change on the tress!) Tho not all strains will As I've read! try to keep it within the 50 range..( stay away for 40's! ) after a certain point it can cause plant growth to slow down. so experiment!!! not every strain will turn purple! some more then other's
Right from high times!
"The origins of purple cannabis are as much of a mystery as the origins of the plant itself. However, purpling is as natural as the changing colors on the leaves of deciduous trees in autumn, which is attributed in part to the pigment anthocyanin. Anthocyanin expression is controlled by both genetic and environmental factors"
They say you learn something new everyday! even if its something useless!

Thats actually real good to know mario, it does get quiet a bit cooler in the room and I assume the box late night/ early morning and thats when I turn the lights back on.
Hoping on getting at least a 10 degree difference now so there could be a slight change just so I can PM you in later days and tell you your the man . When before this thread I never would have wanted it hahah.

What a dilemma. Buy bigger lights and grow better pot. I'm in AK. Use that heat all winter.

I'm above 6000 feet in the rocky mountains so I have massive temp fluctuations, this month we have been going from 10F outside at night to 80F during the day. even with a heater and air conditioner, 3 fans, ducting and inline duct fan for the lights and my temps were fluctuating wildly from 39 at night to 93 in the day inside my grow shed (10x20 barn shed). while I had minor heat damage start to show when they were younger they quickly adjusted. now I am maintaining a solid 45 at night and 70 during the day and the girls seem to LOVE the lower temps, they are always perky and happy looking when I turn on the lights. it was a full time job keeping up with micromanaging my temperatures so I had to widen my range to make it easier to maintain.
