Agreed, there isn't much you can except increase the volume of air exchange... pull out the hot air & replace with cooler air. A fan on the plants might also help, but they are probably hard pressed to transpire enough as is. It may cost some $$$, but a portable a/c unit will greatly help the matter. Best.

i cut a hole in the back of my box, and stuck my 7 inch fan halfway in halfway out to bring in some fresh air..,and cut a nice hole for exhaust for now..gonna get another fan and do it vise versa..but yeah thats helped a shitload now all 4 lights are on and temps at about 87 or so..gonna turn 1 off in a little bit..humidity is at 30% is that normal??
...wow this is the best hobby ive ever come across.honestly

oh and my dimension is about 4 ft height and a ft nd a half lentgh/width(if that)....my first grow box ever so im pumped on it..good enough for a plant or two

You're gonna need to get that humidity up to at least 45-50% bro! Growth may be inhibited & you may get pests at 30% humidity.
