Can an intake fan help reduce heat?

  1. The outside temp ranges from an overnight low of 75 to a late morning high of 90. The 10" x 20" box is running 4 x 23 watt CFLs, on 18/6, with the dark period in the afternoon. Even with the lights quite high, temps can get up 95 in the late morning.
     
    I know ventilation and negative pressure is recommended, rather than intake fans. But if a fan was added to draw outside air in, blowing it straight over the seedlings, would this be a better way of keeping them cool? Or would it be better to just have the two 4" fans at the top and increase ventilation openings in the bottom?
