just got my seeds in and started to run lights and fans as a test run. two fans... one takes air in one out but anyways if i leave it open and run another fan that keeps it about 85 but seeing as it is a pc grow im going to need to keep door on about 4 hours a day during light cycle will this kill the plant. and its going to be hard to add more fans thanks

try having both of the fans be exhaust. and if space allows, get a desk fan to be circulating the air inside.
 
Same problem in a pc stealth case.

I tried a plastic bottle of frozen water. I then swap that out with one of those small blue cooler frozen things and another frozen bottle of water. I place it right in front of the intake fan inside the case.

I didn't see much improvement with that, so I added a 3rd pc fan, suspended with a zip tie from the power strip and right near the lights and main plant in the center. Still only keeps it at 86' - 91/92', and closer to 89' most of the time.

Not sure what to do next, buy I'll probably add another fan, or a stronger one, and open up another ventilation hole on the back that got covered when I put in the car shade for reflector.
