Indoor Help temp and humidity problem!

[Duck Commander]

This is my first grow i hae 1 purple kush and shes in bio bizz light mix using bio bizz grow and bloom its in the 1/2 week of flower and ive only just got a temp and humidity reader Im using cfls one 300w dual and 125w dual for side lighting my grom space is about 2ft x 2ft and 1m high current humidity is 34 RH and temp is at 90.3 f ie got some water bowls in my grow area to help humidity but doesnt seem to be working? For the temp i hae a 2speed fan (its on the high setting)
What can i do to correct this?

Are you drawing in air from outside your box or just recirculating whats in there? Cut a passive intake hole on one side near the bottom and then on the opposite side near the top cut another hole for a small inline fan. The inline fan will draw air acroos the inside of the box from the passive intake hole and should cool it down a bunch for you. From your description it sounds like your using your 2 speed fan to just push hot air around inside the box.

More fans or a little AC unit would help. And if youre able to, increase the air circulation around the closet. I usually keep the door cracked during the lights ON period, that helps circulation and keeps temp down. As for humidity, only thing I can think of is a dehumidifier...I gotta work on my humidity too so sry I can't help more on that. Good luck m8

thats what i do leave the door cracked a little bit think i might have the probe in the wrong place where should i have it?

34% is a little low. Ideally you should be looking at 60-70% in veg and 40-50% in flower.
Try a damp towell rolled up. The evaporation should increase the rh a little.
I have done some cupboard growing myself and I have found it tricky to keep everything ideal.

You could do with getting the warm air out of the cupboard really

Edit: keep the probe near the top of your plant

could be the probe thing. I know for temperature i move the probe and can get variations of up to 10 ºF! Im not sure if there's a place you should have it though. I guess the smartest thing would be to get the max temp/max humidity because then you'll be better prepared rather than having a false sense of security. Honestly 90.3 is hot but it's not terrible, Ive had my grow room get over 100ºF when using an HPS lamp, and I still ended up with quality bud As always: the more cash youre able throw the less problems you will have, so if you can buy a little AC unit.

A DE humidifier would give him less humidity, mate. He needs a humidifier, but it looks like you just need more air to pull those temps down. That's what is stealing your rh, the heat. The need more air for co2 anyway, just general fresh air. More fans won't help, the others are right, just stirring it around.

I too am having humidity problems among other things. Dream says his is 30% and no problems. Damn, mine is about their and I thought that had been causing a lot of my problems. Maybe, maybe not.

In a small setup like that I would think the bowl of water and/or moist towel would help a lot. But you don't want it that hot AND really humid, you're asking for trouble there too. Try and get more intake air, you really need to. If you don't have intake at all that's no good. And depending on the strain and other factors, that temp may not be too bad. Just depends...Ideally you want it under 85F or 29.5C

And an AC will help with the temps but cause your humidity to drop too. ACs are DEhumidifiers.
