Max Temps in closet

Because of growing paranoia and the dimming light my next project will be in a converted cloths wardrobe. Its about 1m x 1 metre by 2m. I have 400w halide in there at the min. The temp gets to 100 even with a fan blowing directly on the light. I have an exhaust fan coming in the next week of so. My problems is I also have a Co2 setup, BUT when the Co2 is on I need to turn the fans off.---------See my problem????? will it be ok going to 100 for 2 or 3 times a day for say 1/2 hour to 1hr

I should of said, alot of houses over look my house so I need no light polution at all and I also need to be active in the room (moving blinds etc....)

Come on all you granddaddy growers..............

Investing in a cool-tube set-up may be something to consider.

are they as good as it says on the box????? will one make a big difference???

Yes it will, think about it... What is creating the heat? ( the lamp ), where do you want the heat to go? ( outside your grow room) With the cool tube it pulls air directly away from the bulb to the outside. Just make sure you have an inlet and outlet of sufficient size for your fan.

Also don't forget odor control. An easy way i found that you have to replace every month or so. is going to home depot and getting one of the odor control filters ( activated carbon ) for air conditioners and making a sock ( tube looking thing ) for the exhaust outlet. Its worked just fine for me.

I dropped my temps from 94-98 to the low 80's using an air cooled reflector.
