Your fan should be able to move the volume of your closet every 3~4 mins.
Also run your lights in the coolest part of the day.
Just as well said!

I'm an old Overgrow refugee. Been bouncing around cannabis forums looking for a good one since the untimely 2006 demise of OG. Can't tell you how refreshing it is to see a board with intelligent comments from ppl who really know their beans.
