I am having a heat problem and wondering if I would be ok in cutting back the lights a little. They are in a stealth box with 2 exhause fans and 1 intake fan in my closet. They are 2 weeks old and doing fine, other than some of the leaves are curling down a little and a few brownspots on the two largest leafs.
I am running 92F and 103F, depending on the thermometer. Both are digital thermometers, guess I am going to have to go old school to find out which one is correct. Nevertheless, it seems a little too hot regardless. The plants(2) are no more than 2 inches from the lights. There are 8 23w, 1600 lumens cfl's. If I start taking out bulbs to bring the heat down, how much will that affect the plants? Basically, what I asking can I afford to take a few bulbs out with what I am running?
