Lighting/Heat Question!

ok so i have a homeade grow room made with black plastic and it's about 2 feet wide, 4 feet long, and about 6 feet tall. I have two 150 watt hps lights in there and wasn't having a heat problem at all because i've got an exhuast that works pretty well but then i put up some of those emergency blankets along the walls and the heat has gone up. I don't know the actual temp in the room i'd guess 85 when the lights are on...

so my question is take down the reflective walls or deal with the heat or leave it be??

I'd try switching and using mylar as your reflective material. 85 degrees is a little warm for MJ and replacing the emergency blankets with Mylar will give you all the reflective attributes you are seeking with out the heat retention that the blankets are made for. Hope this helps!
 
yeah i'll take it down tonight when the lights come back on. I know i should have gone mylar from the start but i had those emergency blankets laying around and i thought it would be a cheaper easier solution.
