New plants not sure what to do with the temperature and lighting situation

I have 3 cfl light 26 watts each hanging about 5 inches above my plants, it is between 93 and 103 in the growing box throughout the day. When I spray them with water the temperature will slowly decrease 10 degrees over an hour then the next hour it will jump back up to 103. Is this too hot for my plants to grow healthy? what reccomendations would you have for lowering my temp? Thanks

is your box ventilated? look at teh grow faqs about ventilation. its very important, whatever your situation (along with temp, humididty, cleanliness, lighting, etc.)

definently look into the ventelation situation. 90-103 is not a very suitable growing temp. depending on the size of your box? try a humidfier. it will help lower the temps and bring the humidity up. Ideal growing conditions are temps between 72-85, and humidity 28-52%

hope this helps.

What kind of temps do 14 watt cfl's give off? any idea?
