well you could always run a ac in there as this is probably not the prefered method! Try bringing in some out side air from a window or something if you can. Do you have any fans running in there?
yes two fans one at night
yes two fans and one running at nightQuote:

you can take off the door knob and put on a squirrel fan
and have it pull air from the closet and blow it into the room..
I have seen this done.. It is very effective... the room will get warm and smell like dank...

or
cut a hole in the ceiling and push the air into the attic!!!!!!!!

Lots of people grow at 85 and hotter...
And are very succesful.. But things can go wrong..
For example, if you keep you Grow rrom at 85+ and you get high humidity... you are fucked.. FUNGUS/mold will eat your plants and your grow room alive..
If spider mites find there way to your plants... once again, you need to get a pregnancy test.. cause you are FUCKED..
mites THRIVE at 85+ degrees... Sur there are cures... sulfur burners, dry ice, C02 ets.... and you can have a great grow.. but know, you need to be vigilant in watching your plants closely..

My closet gets up to 85 or 90 (depending on the temp of my bedroom), but for the first 6 weeks, before I improved the setup of growroom, the temps would get to 95 sometimes 100. I had no noticable problems.
However, everyone else who posted here is correct, high temps COULD lead to some problems.
Good luck!
you can grow at 85 or above, you can also repair a leaking radiator line with duct tape. i consider above 80 too hot, yes the plants will live but the quality and yeild will be no comparison with plants grown in the low to mid 70's. with 350watts of cfl you should be able to take care of the heat easily. my 2' x 2' x 3' cab has 350cfl as well. i have a 180cfm fan and that keeps the grow at exactly the same temp as the house. the air doesn't have time to heat up even 1 degree, i could probably have a 1000hps in there without raising the temp! the trick is to replace all the air in the cab as quickly as possible so it doesn't get a chance to heat up. blowing the air around with fans does nothing to get rid of the heat, you have to get it outta there fast! the doorknob idea was a good one. thanks garden knowm. i would use this fan vented through the doorknob if it was me:

you might need a reducer but it shouldn't cause too much back pressure.
good luck
