so this is my first official grow, ive made attempts in the past but i never finished through, and i now have better resources to take an honest go at it. im using a marshydro 95x6, 2 60w CFLs, and 4 27w CFLs.

lined with shower lining and frame beefed up a little bit for stability

lights set up and plants inside (ill be ordering the adjustable light hangers off amazon, LED is kind of far away from plants about 34in, id like to bring it down to 20in)

a little bit of light leaks but i am using a black out curtain that was lying around, draped in front it blocks all light.
if anybody spots something that could be changed to lower my temp any advice would be appreciated, because the 4in exhaust fan isnt really cutting it, within 4 hours of running the temp inside was at 82F, so ill have to figure something out maybe put another fan in top to exhaust? or flip it around and make it an intake fan?

You will find that small areas just heat up faster than larger areas. I have theories, but the reasons why don't really matter, it just happens

whats your thoughts on two exhaust fans vs one exhaust and one intake? cause im going to have to buy another fan im just wondering if i should make position it to exhaust the hot air, or draw in air from outside the box?
