these are the bulbs i got except their soft white 100 not 75 and their 26w and 1700 lumens each
i woke up today and checked the temp and it was 93F inside the grow box...i need some type of ventiliation, i got a fan yesterday and stuck it in the but its still hot as hell in there....any ideas?
pictures as promised...sorry their a little late but, beter late then never...also i know the temp says 80...but now its almost 95!...i need ideas on ventilation, perhaps cutting i hole and putting the fan on the outside blowing air into the box?

as far as the heat goes,which is pretty amazing with cfls your whole house must be hot,because cfls barely put out heat,but anyway since your box isn't exactly stealth and you only plan to keep the plants inside a month or so then throw the box away and just set up in the corner of your closet.you will use 3 closet walls then make a removable one out of cardboard wraped in foil.it should keep the heat down plus make it easier to use a fan.also lower the lights to 1 inch above the top of the plants you dont want them to be streatching to get to the light.good luck and keep it up.:thumbsup:
ok...so the weirdest thing happened...i took my baggy of germinating seeds out from under the heating pad a few days ago (maybe 3 or 4) and put it in my drawer...i pulled it out today...open it up and i thought 1 of them had sprouted...turns out what i thought was a srpout was actually a maggot...or some little white worm thing...i dunno wtf it was but it freaked the hell outta me...i look around and theres like 4 or 5 of them just crawling outta my fuckin seeds...i was pissed so i just tossed all those out...
after that i just threw about 4 seeds in that start planter thing and today i wake up look at it and 1 of them sprouted i was like holy fuck...so i transplanted it into a bigger container and threw about 3 more seeds into the soil to see if they grow...ill post pics when i get a chance...
ok so i kept the light off for a few days while the seeds were germinating and the heat problem went down...it stays at about 75 with the light off...so i keep the lighting schedule on track the heat shouldn be a prob...also i poked a few holes behind the fan that blows on the plants so a little outside air will filter in...
my lighting schedule will be from midnight -5 pm the lights on and from 5pm to midnight theyll be off so its a 17/7 lighting schedule
