Keep the thermometer in shade and major like that. Not under direct light.
Always be careful after 80, it does not effect directly but can cause side effects. For example, you may feed for optimum dosage but if your temps are not optimum, there can be nutrient problems because of that. It's like a chain. If one of the link is weak, the chain is weak.
For cooling the temperature down:
-You can place an intake to the bottom and point it to CFL.
-Remove those foil from the walls. Paint it flat white.
-Keep the door open.
-Use ice cubes, also helps to raise humidity.
tevfik Reviewed by tevfik on . First Time Grow Hey guys, just get done setting up my grow box for my first time grow. It has a 300W equivalent CFL (about 4500 lumens) hanging over the plant with a color temp of 2700k and 2 24" tube fluorescents (about 1k lumens each) that are like 70W equivalent each with a color temp of like 7200k. I used almost 8 quarts of soil of miracle grow moisture control in the bottom of the grow box and I'm planning to grow one plant about 20" tall after the flowering is done. I'm hoping to get about 2 more grow Rating: 5
