So right now im vegging with 4 27 wat 6500k cfls, only 3 plants in a 20gal tub. Lined iwth mylar, computer fan exhaust, oscialting fan and an intake fan on the lid (lid is off in picture). Im going 24/0 with the lights so all fans are up and running nonstop. With the lid on temps get to be 94F!!!!! So right now im currently growing them without the lid on alltogether and temps are down to about 88F(still too high). Its really annoying because when i feel the air right above/around the plants it feels rather cool and breezy do to the large fan i have inside the tub. So since i have such good airflow are these temps going to affect my plants? They seem to be doin fine so far, but they are only 1 week old so...i dunno. Im thinking that adding another exhaust fan will cure this problem for the most part and hopefully i can put my lid back on (this is a stealth grow). I just didnt think that the box would get this hott when im jsut using cfls and have (atleast i think i do) good ventilation. So any help is greatly appreciated, pics below is how i am running this setup and a couple shots of the babies.
