Unix do you have any kind of venilation in your grow area? You should have a fan and some air holes in you grow cab.

good "flow through" ventilation is essential..

its straight up in the closet mate i dont have any fans or anything at the moment, i cant really put a hole my the side of my wall lol its a kind of walk in drobe, Iv been playing around with it for hours now i just got some of that greennet stuff that stops a bit of heat im trying to put that around the pot. I put the balast on the floor as far away from the globe as i could.

87 will work but you would like it a little cooler, 72-75 is nice, my temps get pretty high sometimes though and things work out.
