It's getting so hot because you do not have air movement. Have your fan exhaust air at the top, and make a passive air intake near the bottom on opposite side of fan. If still too hot, you need more CFM's

i have the intake fan at the top and i dont have a exhaust fan
And therein lies your problem. You are bringing air in at the top and you should be pulling air out, not in. I would suggest turning your fan around, and making sure you have a place for fresh air to enter near the bottom.

You have a whole hydro system yet you're trying to grow some 1' high plants in a cardboard box? I dont buy it...
