Can't take the heat!

Well, it's been about two weeks so far and temps in my room won't go below 86 degrees F. I've added an exhaust fan just above the lights @ about 20cfm, a 50 cfm fan in the back and a large box fan right in the front of the whole area. There is another 20cfm fan pumping filtered air from outside into the room as well. I had the box setup before hand with only the the 50cfm exhaust fan and the door open but temps were still 86; adding the extra exhaust and intake did nothing. Does anyone else have experience with using this many cfls? The box is 18 cubic feet. I'm using 23 cfls @ roughly 6200/88 Lumens/watts a square foot on a parallel circuit. Humidity is at 40%. I'm really wondering specifically if my thermo/hygrometer is picking up heat from the cfls that isn't being influenced by ambient temperatures? I mean the girls look good but this morning the meter read 91 so I knew I needed to try and fix the problem asap. Thanks Riu.

I didn't read past the 86F...
they look fine bro...I wouldn't trip with anything under 92F
l

mine are always about 82F and never had a problem.

Okay. Cervantes wrote that if your light intensity (lumen per square foot) was high then higher temperatures were actually optimal but not past 85 degrees F. I notice some pre mature browning of the pistils as well that I attributed to the heat. Is this incorrect? They aren't showing any other problems aside from the browning pistils that I can tell at least. No cupping of leaves, steady growth etc etc.

my room won't go below 86 degrees

Im not surprised running 23 cfls! Get a 400w hid, you will get much more out of it and it would be a lot cooler.
