Question! using the rubbermaid growbox!

[soobie05]

Just set up a Rubbermaid box, my plant is in its 31/2 week of the veg stage. before the new box i was using a verry weaak little flourecent light, and with that it was in a pretty low temped area.
As of rite now i have 4 CFL's 26 wat that give off like 100watts. The temp in the box is at 85 and humidity is at 45. are these dangerous numbers or should i be ok? or will the plant become shocked?

thx for the advice every1!

85 is boarder line temp. is there any way to get more air flow through the box to get temps in the 70's.

just saw picture, add a small exaust fan to the top of the box.

ya I was thinking the same I'll probably get another one and my humidity wend down go 45! that's ok rite?

I have one that I use all the time. I have a fan at the the bottom on outside of box and a inline 4" exhaust fan at the top of box, I use 6 26 watt cfl and can keep temps around 70.

hmm interesting sounds like a plan though!! thx for the advise. so basically anything type of ventillatin to get the temp to 70 should be fine? and as far as the humidity how does 45 do? I know at 50 they mold at 50

soobie that should be fine I never really had a humidity problem with mine at all I keep a electronic temp sending unit inside of box and watch the temps, sometimes they change a bit after watering.
