So i need a little help and maybe a little bit of RUI ingenuity. So ive got a decent little set up and am trying my hand at being a farmer. :) All is not well though, my little box has no air intake or circulation and temps were hitting a whopping 106...and im kinda broke and dont have any old pc's. What should i do?

You kind of answered your own question, no air intake and no circulation, you've got to rectify that or you'll lose your plants. you can buy a cheep 4" or 5" fan somewhere, doesn't need to be circulating, cut a hole in the top end of the box and one on the bottom, that should give some circulation. hope this helps a little.

first things first. its not just a few degrees high, youre 30+ away from the high end of the ideal range. switch your lights to LEDs first off. that should help a bunch. secondly, YOU NEED A CONSTANT SOURCE OF FRESH AIR. imagine if you were locked in a box, you'd run out of oxygen, likewise they will run out of CO2, and very fast. lastly, just put the box in a cool location (near vent in summer, or window during winter).

Lol, thanks for the feedback guys! Yes, it is my parents house but they're moving out before the end of the year and so im trying to keep it stealth for the most part. I was just trying to find a really cheap fix. So i have these two fans out of the original xbox, and i was just wondering if you guys think it'll be enough with one pumping in at bottom and one pumping out at top? I really appreciate it guys. And to be honest if it wasnt for RUI, i probly wouldnt have even thought i could do it stealth. Thanks again fellas.

So a little update, i installed one of the xbox fans at the top near the lights, and cut a nice little passive intake at the bottom and it was like night and day. Went from 105-to right at 69-70 when i checked it in an hour. Thanks again for the help guys. Im kind of addicted to a few journals ive seen on here and im thinking i might start one. Not a huge one, just a few updates a week just in case i need a few pointers along the way.
