Survive or Die?

Hello RIU, Today is the first day i have had a chance to experiment with the heat in my growbox.... After building, Working and getting raw materials, i managed to get a fan insulated (for sound) a 400w HPS and two old kitchen cabinets that i bolted together.

I have noticed that the growlight has been on for about 3 hours now and its already waving between 25-30 degrees... I read on a website that over 24 degrees, there is a serious problem with pests, but i designed my growbox so no pests can get in... Would 4 maybe 5 white widow plants survive temperatures with a max of 30 degrees? Im quite desperate because of im completely skint and i sleep in the room with the growbox in so it cant be too loud...

Any comments & help are greatly needed. Thanks :bigjoint::fire:

Anyone an expert on white widow and know if this temperature is ok? i was planning to 18/6 for about a week then put 12/12, with 12/12 i can leave door open on the growbox, i can also put another fan in because of i wont be sleeping during the 12 hours its on...

please someone comment on anything about white widow or if any strain will survive these kind of temperatures? thanks

30c=86f, that's close to top end for most non tropical strains. Should be okay. I've hit 117f and they didn't die......didn't like it at all but didn't die.
