hi all, first post.

strain - dutch passion (fem), oasis (northen lights #2)
space - wadrobe, just under 4 sq foot, height 6 ft
lighting:
40w cfl (seedling's),
250W blue envirolight (veg),
250/400w red envirolight (flour)
venting - passive (semi open door) / 6" desk fan.

right this is my first grow, but i am having major problems with the temperature. i cannot seem to get the temp down that much.
light on, door closed, no fan - 107 deg F
light on, small opening, no fan - 103 deg F
light on, door closed, fan on - 95 deg F
light on, door open, no fan - 95 deg F
light on, door open, fan on - 85 deg F

i dont know if the thermometer is faulty as it's a very old POS, but i can only get the temp down to 85 deg F. and this is with a 'noisy' fan on and the door wide open (not ideal).
i don't really want to spend any more on equiptment, and cutting holes / ducting is not an option, due to positioning.

i work from home so i have no real problems keeping the door open / fans blowing. but the problem with this is sleep - there is no way i can continue getting bugger all sleep (3 days so far) because of a noisy fan blowing and a blinding light 3 foot away from me. i am currently on a 18/6 veg cycle. is there any possibility i could cut this to a 16/8 cycle - i could cope with 8 hours sleep. or would this turn all my ladies hermie?
