Alright my first grow went ok till i had to destroy them (sad day) a month left and i had to kill all 5, 4 turned out to be females, the last was unknown. Oh well onto this grow. Its in a small 18 gallon rubbermaid tub.i spray painted the tub black then white so its stealth. I have 4 26 watt Cfls, I'm going to go with more once they get bigger and i move them to my other rubbermaid tub. i have a small 4in Pc fan for the intake and outtake, it gets to 86 degrees, should i get a bigger 120MM fan which is atleast 2 in bigger, or should i just put in another 4in?

Its in a basement, The temps are 74-77, No i have no ways of cooling the room down without cooling the whole house down

74-77 is good enough, yes just put in a bigger fan. Make sure the intake is down low and the exhaust is up high.
