Ok hereâ??s the thing I have a 2ft X 2ft X3ft box (1/4inch plywood with 1inch X 2inch framing) raised off the ground 2.5 inches. I have 8 cfls in it 4 are 5000k (hanging in the middle in an X pattern) and 4 are 6500(one hanging in each corner). I have an exhaust fan (6inch fan max cfm 240) it was sucking from the ground threw a 4inch dryer hose(kinda squashed to fit under the box) which I thought was decreasing the performance of the fan) so I moved it into the door of the box about 10 inches from the top. It's in the door straight not hosed or anything. I have a 4inch hole in the floor of the box with an intake fan, (I butchered a 5 inch desk fan to make this one). Then I have a 2 speed oscillating fan (on high) on the wall for air movement and it blows on 4 of the cfls (5000k ones). The intake fan and the oscillating one are on the same side and the exhaust fan is in the middle of the door and the other fans are just inside the door on the right. When I had the exhaust fan in the floor running threw a squashed dryer hose it keep the box tem to 89 to 90 at the hottest with the carbon filter on it, now that is in the door with out any restriction the box temps are the same, when I put the carbon filter on it, it shoots up to the mid 90. So WTF is going on, where did I mess up and what can I do to fix this, for lil to no moneyâ?¦.????
I was thinking I only could use 4 of the cfls, but I have always heard that the more light the better. This box will be used for everything (veg and flower) I will just be changing the cfls when needed. Any help will be greatly appreciated and rep will be given, Cause I really need to star growing for medical purposes.

Thanks,
