So my friend hooked up everything in his room for a trial run for a couple hours before he cracks the seeds, and the temps were 78° in the room and about 86° under the hood with only 2 out of 3 fans running. The hood was also 20" from the tubs, so the bulb was probably 15". It is a 1KW bulb. Humidity was 61%-67% for the two hours.

I know its supposed to be 70-80° and 50-60%, but are these temps and humidity levels too high? He is starting with 4 150W CFLs to veg and then only using the HPS to flower, so the hood and bulb will be at least 2 feet higher than it was, but we wanted to see how hot it really got with the HPS light since CFLs don't produce too much heat.
