Yea, im just thinking ahead for the summer, my Box dimensions is Size : 30X19.3X35.8(inches). Usually nowwhere its at the standard temperature without the lights on is 66 deg F and in the summer its about 77-79 deg F. In the summer it can get pretty hot, and i cant have that b/c im doing an aeroponic grow. and ideas on what i should do? Im considering getting a portable AC, but that can be costly. Yea i know my box is small, but im doing an autoflowering strain and possibly SOG is its possible with the heat.

any advice?

Proper ventilation.

A properly sized fan for the size of the room, with an intake hole and an exhaust hole. If you can, run the exhaust outside or up to the attic.

If thats a bit above your budget, just cut 2 holes in the box, and put a small fan in one of them. That should provide for adequate circulation to keep it cool.

Did i mention this is a closet grow? Very stealthy. I also need a very quite fan. My budget for the fan i woud put arounf $50 to 80 max (USD)

Try using computer fans but make sure to check the CFM to make sure you are getting good airflow. (Google quiet computer fans)

I also grow in a closet check out my posts.

The cheapest would probably be holes in the top lid, as heat rises. Maybe a few PC fans to aid the flow, sucking out of the box, not blowing into it. Try to make intake vents in the bottom.
No PC fan is quiet unless it is mounted with rubber grommets too... you get them where you get the fans.
