my box seems to be averaging about 93 with the door clsed and about 89 with the door open, i have a fan pumping in fresh air and a fan pushing out the waste air my question is are there any ways to cool the air more without adding more fans I dont really have the cash for more fans atm

when the door is open sit a fan next to it to pull air in faster that will help a little, and just close the door right before dark cycle

I bet if you exaust the box into another room or say the attic your temp will drop a little bit. I exaust into a attic but since the temp is starting to lower my inline fan is so strong it sucks the warm air right out of the room, i exaust right into the same roo mto bring the temp up. It went from 66 to74 with that miner adjustment.....hope this helps

I am guessing that the grow journal in your sig is your grow box. Start by getting rid of the tin foil my friend it creates hot spots and holds heat. Get some mylar or paint it white or get some emergency/space blankets at walmart.

alright thankyou guys sorry aout taking so long... ah the adventures of a stoner... if i take off the tin foil will the wood be good for reflection for a week or two until i can get some mylar?

the fans are 80 mm i think
2 40 watt cfl and a 45 watt

i wish i could exhaust into a diferent room its an apartment so i cant cut up the walls so its in a walk in closet... i keep the closet door open and the box open to keep it cooler while im home and i put a bag of ice outside the intake fan to hopefull cool the air before its sucked in... but the inlaws are planning a weekend visit so if they come would higher temps be alright for that period of time? ofc if they dont come all is fine
