word i will try to get pics up today.and i have a big hole in the GR already on top its the only way i can regulate the temp. cuz just the 400 mh is alot of heat output.so i have two fans, one pulls fresh air in from the side and one pulls heat out.when the light shuts off its 80-83 F when the light kicks on 6hrs later its like 55-60 F.i have to seal off the in side to keep cold out.kinda get wat im sayin?

Seal (and possibly insulate) the shed and build an enclosure inside of the shed for your plants. Ventilate the enclosure to circulate the air inside the shed. Heat the shed to around 65 degrees and open it up briefly every day, during lights on, to get fresh air inside. Keep your min-max temps to around 15 degrees difference and you should be OK.
