whats up everybody? i've been growing my first plants for about a month now, im using a growbox i made from 2- 40gallon rubbermaid tubs. i am using a bathroom light bar with 3 cfl's (1750 lumens a piece) is this enough? im currently growing 4 plants. that leads to my next problem... tempature. on average my growbox is 88-92 degrees, i've even started to notice a little yellow on a leaf of one of my plants. eventhough its only about a fourth of a millimeter im still a little worried. im using 2 high velocity fans connected to dryer hose for vent. i thought about cutting some air holes in the box, is that wrong? i was going to change my lighting to 3- 3900 lumen cfl's, but i fear this will only make it hotter. is this true? i recently bought a couple 2ft shop lights for a future grow closet, what are the best flo's to buy? i have no specialty garden stores in my area so please give me the best advice for like home depot, walmart, etc. are flo's better for growing than cfl's? sorry to dump off so my ???'s im just concerned. thanks and keep smokin'
 
Whats up mang. What you need is to install a few CMF fans in your box. One pulling the hot air out and one pushing fresh air in. Here is a link on how to wire them. http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2592 Yes you will make your box hotter if you add more CFL'S with more lumens. However by adding the fans i'm talking about you just might be able to pull it off.
