400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

I am in a michigan basement, all concrete. I am just pulling thru the hoods and the pre-made tent vents. I have one oscillating tower fan and 1 (or now 2) floor fans pointing at my smart pots. The lights are off now for 2 hours and it's only dropped to 69 in there and will bottom out around 65 tonight. I actually need a bit more heat during the day to help dry my pots, and so I get a better temp difference, so I will probably start closing it more of the time or dial my fan speed down more. My veg box has a 400w mh and 150hps (no cooling), in a 34x40 box using the same fan that is wye'd to my old veg box under the stairs, so only using half of the same model fan's power, and it never gets above 80.

I imagine all of that will change in a month or 2 when summer gets here, but hopefully I can keep it all under control without having to add any AC.

Looks like some healthy plants. The blue venom looks like it stretched a lot early on, but you seemed to have corrected that with the others. Those lower branches on the blue venom could have also been trimmed up until the 2nd or even 3rd week of flowering to promote denser budding up top where the light would have more of an effect.

Well I went on and transplanted put them in a 2gallon pot Roots organic medium. I watered them till I seen water come out of the drain holes. 400w Mh,Hps arrived today got that set-up light approx. 16ish inches from the plants. I put the light in went made a run come back and temp was 120 degrees. So I went to walmart got a 3 speed fan got it set up to suck the heat out,also I have a fan blowing between the light and the plants. Hopefully it will bring the temp down, Or should I put the fan in with the plants I dont know.Advice?
