Heat or Light

Hi all,

So i finally got my room sorted out.

2m High
50cm Deep
34"/86cm wide

I covered the walls and floor/ceiling of it with white marlar,

And am running a 250w sodium bulb in there...

I did start with a 400w sodium buld but that was way too hot so i had to change,

Here is my problem...

I got my lemon skunk plants from a friend, they were about 1metre tall already when i got them and almost ready for flowering

At first as its my 1st grow i had the door to the room sealed tightly....but the inside was getting covered with condensation and the plants were too wet constantly..

So i have to keep the top of the door (mylar door held on with velcro) open slightly to let out some heat.....

This workded...but the room is still getting way too hot....i dont really want to put an extractor in there as the room is small.....and its a fixed cupboard put in by the landlord so dont really want to be cutting it

But as the plants are now about 1.5m high....the heat from the buld seems to be still 2 hot and the tops keep browning to a crisp...i have removed these but any other that grow go the same way....

The bottom 3 quarters of the plant is growing perfect...its about 6 weeks old...and just starting to show some nice buds.not very big but look nice and healthy

i have 2, 7" clip on fans clipped to the reflector of the bulb...that blow on it constantly but still seems to be too hot...

I also have a spare 125w red spectrum gfl bulb and a reflector spare....

Is there any way i can get the room cooled to try and save my ladies...(2 plants in the room by the way)

Or would the cfl bul i have be enough to grow these for the rest of the flowering stage thats left?? :wall:

Thanks in advance guys and gals

Will they flower and fatten up under gfl aswell?
