I finally got my grow room(closet) settup and running but I've already encountered my first issue. Atm I just have one oscillating fan in there and 2 vent holes settup for when I get a muffin fan and later on when I get a carbon filter. To the point, if I leave the door closed the temp sits around 97F. If I leave it open the temp sits around 91F
This is insane and I don't want to kill off my plants before they even start. I raised the light as high as I can for now(the temp was 105F before I raised it). I am wondering if I have a muffin fan to exhaust the hot air if it will make enough difference that I could at least keep the door closed and have the temp stay around 85. If not then what else can I do(that won't cost too much)?

That is waaaaay to hot. You need a more powerful extraction fan. Cut a hole in your ceiling and pull that shit out. Fuck the landlord. Ideal canopy temps are 72-76F. Anything over 80 and you risk dealing with stretching, and larfy fluff amongst other issues. You need a decent extraction and passive intake setup. 97F? Fuck that, dude. If it's that hot in there, you should just stop trying right now.

If a muffin (never heard of it) fan is a centrifugal turbine fan then yes, it will help a lot.

Naw, google "muffin fan" it's like a computer fan but better. Btw I only just planted the seeds so how long can I run at these temps and not risk serious damage. I'm gonna try to do something about it tomorrow but it's 2am right now.

Like pinworm said, its way too hot you need a powerful fan. They don't need any light until they sprout, just a warm moist environment.

Between having a muffin fan on the exhaust and hanging one from beside the light(600w) blowing directly at the light, should that be enough to lower the temp 5-10 degrees(F)?

I googled that and found nothing but several videos of male on male cumfarts. Are you into male on male cumfarts or what?

You clearly googled the wrong thing and judging by your profile pic I don't wanna know what you're into.

Why did you tell me to check out your cumfart videos? What are you, some kind of troll?

"muffin fans" google images. If you're finding those kinda things by searching that then you must have your wires crossed.

On a serious note I found a solution. I'm going to use my florescent strip light for now, it will give the seeds some light to seek out and I doubt I'll have any issues with warmth.
