i think my mini veg box is to hot

[alshuray1]

my veg box 1 1/2 foot high 13 cm wide 18 cm deep
i have 5 cfls 3 23 watt 2 40 watt
i also have 2 fans over 100 cfms
all i feel is hot air circulating in the box

should i drill some kind of vent hole from veg box into stanley blower
compartment
(the picture i took is the reverse the stanley blower compartment is on the left and veg is on the right ) dont now why it did this?

i should have run a intake duct from stanley to veg box
but i decided to use fans bad idea
ill buy a thermometer tomorrow to properly test temps
ill also need to buy a thermostat. 2 in fact one for the 400 watt grow space
and one for the mini veg box
ill need to find one that i can plug fans into

How long ya gonna use this box? Aint enough room to grow for long. And yes you will deff have a heat problem with those CFL's, in that small box.

only using it for a few weeks just to germ an starting veg
not intended for flowering
basically for starting plants only
i have a400 watt grow area for full growth.
that way in the final weeks of my 400 watt grow space
i can already begin growing process in mini veg space

as for sucking the heat out
ill just run 3 inch ducting from main intake duct pipe
( 400 watt grow to mini veg box)
which means i have to run piping from main intake to mini veg box
cut hole in main intake pipe duct. place 3 inch piping in it duct tape it
alot then run the other end of the 3 inch pipe to the mini veg.

What are you going to use the thermostat for?

i i wanted fans to run when it hits a certain degree 75 ideally.
so a scenario is i can run stanley blower 24/7 since its like 1200 cfm
and have other fans running on thermostat.
they only run when temps are getting higher than its intended to be
when it gets to a certain degree it shuts off
dont worry
ill add it to my thread
pics and all
