I agree, thanks guys. So how would I tackle that issue. I already have a mini-blower that sucks in cold air from cool packs and passes thru the air intake at the bottom of this thing...
You can go one of two ways. Control the heat with more ventilation or an ac. The other is to accept it and work with it. Make sure silica is part of the nutrient regimen. That lets them handle temperature extremes much better. If you add co2 enrichment the plants will go nuts. That system works best in the 80s and even 90s. It will also grow twice as fast. I would go the silica and co2 route.
