i have one air hockey fan blowing air into the box its hidden behind a light in the pix. its installed on the outside/back and there is a hole for it too blow in, but the air cools off so fast that the temp drops below 20c when the fan is only on for about 2 min and i restricted the blow of that fan to about 1/4 of it blowing in. aswell as i have read and watched movies and know that it takes months and was not expecting full grown plants in no time, i looked through journals and read tons of threads, only the dirt in my pots seems to dry out atleast every 12 hours, i mean COMPLETELY dry, BONE DRY, even when i put my finger in through the bottom of the pot in one of the holes, that dirt is completely bone dry. also i have a fan that i leave on when the lights are on, blowing into the front opening of my cabnet(leaving the door open a crack to let it blow in).

I made new holes in the bottom of those pots using a 2" finishing nail. I dunno i hope i could pick up a little fan from wal-mart put i dont got more the $10can to my name. I watered last night at 11pm cuz they were bone dry, this time fan running all night(larger one outside the door nice 22c temp inside), checked plants at 11am and dirt was bone dry again. I know im supposed to water every 2 daysish, but are they supposed to get to the point where they get completely dried out? id like to water once every 2 days and stop worrying about them but it seems one of them dried up and died so im down to 8 sprouts. maybe ill have to put them into actuall plastic pots and that will help them retain moisture.
