Hi all,

This is my first grow and my first grow box. I bought this grow box set up the way it was and I will obviously need to make a few changes here and there for my arrangement. Here is the box itself:
Attachment 296949
Attachment 296950
Attachment 296951
Attachment 296952

There is an intake at the bottom and out-take at the top. Both are the same fan just pointed in different directions. They seem to be very quiet but also very low power (not enough to keep the heat down). I've tried to do some searching to figure out my heat problem, both on here and other websites. My thermometer records temperatures ranging from 85 degrees to 91 degrees which is much too hot. The area that I keep the box in is usually anywhere from 73 degrees to 77 degrees so it shouldn't be reaching temperatures that high. The only time I am able to get the optimal temperature is to leave the cabinet open, which is only a temporary fix while I look for a more permanent solution.

I am guessing what I need is better air flow to keep the temps down. Any recommendations for what I should do based on my current setup? I'm thinking more powerful fans. Any recommendations for those? Also, anything else I can do to improve the grow box. This is a hydroponic box, although currently just using it as a place for a soil plant to grow. The plant became stretched for light before I put it in the box - It seems to have plenty of light now though. Any recommendations for getting it to stand on its own again as well? I put a little toothpick-like object in for it to lean on for the time being.

Thanks for the help!
