Need help/advice...closet gets to hot with all the CFLs running.

[robbzilla]

Ok really I been trying to think of something all day but I can't. Heres the short of it. I have a 10x5x3 closet that I'm grown 4 plants in.
I can run 4 -4ft floros 1-2ft floros and 8 23w or 42w cfls. If you look at the pics its just sockets with y spliters and I just ran them threw the table legs. with 2 heavy duty fans blowing.
anyways so my problem is I ran a temp run and I pretty much knew from the start I couldnt run all those lights with the door closed but I tried it and it got to like 110 in there. But even with the door open it gets to about 94-98 with 8 cfls running and the door open. And about 84 with 4.
So what do you guys think? How can I cool this room off and not spend a lot of money? because as you can tell from my set up im kind of on a tight budget.....
Thanks

get a fan? problem solved

besides the temp, if you have a stead fan blowing on your plants they will grow stronger stems to fight the wind

"2 heavy duty fans blowing."

I mean the fans do help but it still gets to hot.

how ventilated is your closet/room

you're probably just pushing around the same hot air

put a big bag of ice in your closet and hope

ive found that blowing intake onto the fans help ALOT in micro grows...puts the heat in motion

and like onetitty said...gotta have fresh air from somewhere...made the same mistake in my first box thinking that it would recirculate but having the intake right on them ive been able to lower my temps up to 10 degrees

EDIT: also if you have a higher CFM fan, usually motors are mounted behind the fan...you have em running close to 24 hours a day you gotta take into account the heat its gonna pull from that aswell
cut a hole somewhere and stick the back of the fan out..world of difference trust me

well seeing as I have the door open all time wouldnt that be good enough ventilation?
yea I know I need a better fan with higher CFM stats but I just can't really find on at the store and I don't know much about what I need really....

What does "blowing intake onto the fans" mean?
