What can i do to lower the temps in my grow box ??

Im thankfull for any advice and help !! :thanks:
 
Bigger exhaust and intake. Aluminium is not good it creates hot spots and may hurt the plants, idk if it generates heat but you would be better if you paint the box white or buy mylar witch is cheep and way better then aluminium...
 
Yea man your right

1. Use a good exhaust at the top of the box/tent some like a duct booster will work ( if you dont mind a little noise)
2. Remove the alu and get maylar or just flat white paint...
3. Make better use of your other fans pinting them up does not help verry mutch
4 o and before i forget a air intake at the bottem prefering passive
 
Thanks guys for your replies. I added an exhaust fan at the very the top. This reduced the temperature with 5 degrees!
