2) lined with panda paper
3) 400W HPS approx. 18" from canopy...glass on hood soon to come!
4) 6 plants vegging in 12 inch round 3 gallon pots filled with FF soil
5) 2 speed circulating fan in box...
6) active 8" exhaust out the top of box...restricted massively
7) 2 4" holes on bottom right
8) 1 4" x 8" hole on bottom left
9) large room humidifier in bottom right of box
10) numerous soaked sponges in open areas

I live a block from the ocean...ambient temp in garage is about 68 degrees.

CURRENT TEMP IN BOX: 81 DEGREES
CURRENT HUMIDITY IN BOX: 19%

Im not sure what other info might be relevent....please please help me with this issue! Before re-building this box, I had built a small frame and wrapped it in clear plastic to create a humidity dome...but the plants have out grown this contraption and I am now at a loss!

Thank you in advance!

S.L.G.
do away with the sponges and replace with 32 0z bottles of vinegar with a shutoff valve at the bottom of the bottle(any aquarium store has 'em) drippin into a tightly lidded tupperware bowl that has 4 0z.'s of baking soda in it at a rate of 1 drip per second(of course yur gonna make a hole so the vinegar can drip into the bowl)and have yur tubing(5mm) running out of the other end of the tupperware to the ceiling and coming down on yur babies. i would start with 1 in front of yur grow box and 1 in back with the tubing running down on different parts of yur crop.
Success
