Thanx man so aslong as the whole room is kept to around 27° I shudnt worry to much about under the lights as long as I have a decent oscillating fan to keep it cool yeah?.

yeah 80 is pretty good for veg man. just make sure the lights arent too close or it WILL become an issue.

That is around 92f... That's too warm for good growth!

I have a 6" intake fan sucking in fresh air from outside and a 8" filter/fan sucking out into attic/loft and an oscillating fan.. I'm growing in a room the system is an NFT MD300 (6 1/2ft long 5 1/2ft wide)
Currently I have 2 600hps over one tray and 1000hps over the other (i did have 1000hps and 600hps over the other tray but heat was no good so dropped to just the 1000)..Will be growing 20 autos each tray having 10autos in 5 1/2ft by 3ft.

The fan is pointing on to the light and is prety weak i keep feeding cubes with pH water with a tiny bit dutch pro take root ph 5.9 ec 0.15
I havnt got any trays to put cubes in what about dropping them in to system now??. I was trying to wait till the roots showed out bottom of cubes before putting them in. Thanx for the pointers this is my 1st auto grow and only my second run with new system.:?

How close is your light to the seedlings? Looks pretty close...
