Temp question new to the indoor game

just need to know about best temp for small grow box.....

i have about 72 watts of cfls and want to upgrade to 128 watts of cfls(4- 32 watters)
my temp is about 28-30 C (about 84 f) and only have a small pc fan for intake.

think i will need to upgrade fan aswell or even add an exaust?

move them out of that fire hazard and put them in a closet wit right ventalation and lightin. the box looks suspicious anyway,if a cop comes through and sees the box,they might want a look and then u will be fucked

Is that tin foil on the inside? If so, get rid of it!

Also, you got some red spectrum bulbs on those babies. I would say that blue spectrum is better for veg. Or hell, a mix of both, but definitely get some blue in there. Cfl's 6500k will do the trick.

As for your temp question. I would shoot for 75-80 with the lights on. Never let it get above 85. Low 70's high 60's should be fine at night.

Also, that box is going to probably be too small for your plants once they get bigger.

I was thinking of making something out of a rubbermaid container to reduce the fire hazzard. Might be a bit better.And what can i use other than tin foil if i cant locate mylar?

If the inside of that box is white, that should be fine. Or paint it black...

LOL @ PAINT IT BLACK...i love that rolling stones song!

which box the rubbermaid or my carboard creation?

also forgot to mention these are all going outside for the year except for 1 bagseed and 1 skunk #3

they will be left inside for my first attempt at indoor

Gamble, How old are those seedlings. Looking good though.

they are on day 8

like others said, you wanna keep your tems 70-85 or so, with cfls its not that hard unless you have like more than many in a very small space. my temps jumped on me with my coffin design, so i had to un-enclose my plants. now with my mylar, all lights runnin, fan goin, and humidifier my temps stayed below 85 all day. if your having trouble getting mylar check out these folks, someone here pointed me to em.
