temp question

[xmk]

i just started my first grow a few days ago, got the seeds to germinate using moist paper towels and they were planted into soil yesterday, Ive got 6 100wat cfls on them but my problem is my temps are hanging around 87-90 degrees, whats a good temp range to shoot for? im using a rubber made grow tub like this one http://boards.cannabis.com/growroom-...b-growbox.html so its a bit hard to get my temps down, any suggestions?

i'm no expert m8 on my first grow myself but i think you need to be around 78 mines at 80 but i suppose 2 doesn't matter that much

you wanna get that temp dowm.do you have exaust fans ? were are you growing/ need more info brfore we can comment but 78 is ideal temp as chillout says

[Pass That Shit]

Add mulch to the top. I'm using leaves. That should help lower soil temp from the lights above and need less watering.
Are you using cool bulbs for veg?

[xmk]

yep im using cool bulbs, went out yesterday to a computer parts store and got a much more powerful fan, temps are now down to 78-80 so things are looking good again

In the Cannabis grow Bible I have read that using aluminum to reflect light traps a lot of heat. Better Air circulation would help.
