Lower box temperature

pcdantas · Apr 10, 2012

Hey everyone so I have a small grow box and the light I use in that grow box is a 150W CFL (only one bulb with 150W)

To make the box cooler I use an extractor with 190 m3/h

Right now the temperature of the box is 82.4°.

What can I do to lower the box temperature even more?

Thanks

82 is okay ..
150w actaul watts ? or eq.

Yes yes 150W actual watts.

But 82 is far from lamp when the plant gets higher the temperature will be like 89

More fan(s) and I'd get more lights.

i know this sounds odd but when i switched from cfl to a 150w hps it was easier to control temps. It's easier to vent an HPS where your only option with cfl is to have a fan blow on the light. I think CFL's create a lot more heat than people think. However, when i did have the cfl's, having a fan blow on each light did help a alot.
