Temperature Tolerance??

My question is probably the opposite of what most people ask. My closet has 2 400w HPS in a homemade cooltube. The closet is about 3.5'x2.5'x7.5'. I vent my closet through my cooltube and it's working great, too great. My temps get down to 12c when light are out and about 15c when on. Is that too cold? Will this effect my yield in a negative way?

I dont do celcius...

If your plants get to below 60 degrees farenheight it will start affecting the speed of their growth. The colder the greater the effect.

Forgot to add, these plants are vegged elsewhere in a cab at about 20C. This is strictly a flowering closet if that makes any difference

Thanks guys, I'll have to try to figure out how to get it a bit hotter in there.
You could punch a hole in your vent tubing to recirc a small amount of air back through the grow room. Or put a Y fitting in and throttle it with duct tape over the open side.
