Noob Temp & Lighting Questions

  1. Got a couple of questions regarding my cfl rubbermaid grow. (Pics are via link to my grow journal in sig)

    First, temps with 2 cfls at 23 (actual) watt 6500k each are at 84. With four or five of these cfls, the temps hit the 90s. Got two 45 (actual) watt 6500k cfls in the mail (all the stores here suck in selection) and want to know if these two bulbs (giving 90 actual watts combined) will be enough or should I also get a 13 (actual) watt 6500k cfl and a slightly smaller fan. Current fan is 120mm, 64 cfm, and 35 dBA with speed of 1900 RPM.

    Second question is regarding temp. With the two lights on, average temp ranges from 82 to 84 F and temp with lights off and the one fan off are 77 F. Humidity went from 31% (lights and fan on) to 47 % (lights and fan off). So, are these temps okay or should I work on those as well?
