[quote name='"al3k5"'] Hey dude, ya I already thought about that but passive intake is good only when you have a vacuum in your grow area, and I do not because the top of my box is open....thanks for the idea though.[/quote] And I am trying to bring in cold air, cause I'm having temp issues. I'm at 85 with lights on, and around 80 with off. I'm hoping this new addition of fans will save me somewhat.
80 when ur lights are off, You have a/c in the room? Also, u may have said this b4 but is that 85 at the top of the canopy? In my personal grow i had a about a 10-15 degree difference from the soil surface and at the top of the canopy(about 12 inches above the soil) Soil surface was ~75 Canopy ranged from 84-89 85 is not bad at all, i thought u were in the 90s!

And yes its at the top of the canopy, pretty close to the lights, ill post a good pic of where its at. I heard it should never go above 80? And I was in the 90's earlier without those 2 fans. Have 3 more coming this week.
Ideally below 80 yes. 80-84 solid/good growing conditions imo. I dont suppose there is anyway to lower the ambient temp of the room? If your box is intaking 80 degree air it can only cool the box so much
post pics of setup so we know what you got so we can help you better are you growing in a closet or just a open room with a box with no lid pics man pics

And I don't think I can put a lid on box because my lights rest ontop of the sides of the box...
[quote name='"chad0200"']if you got like 80 bucks just get a tent off ebay fix your prob[/quote] Yea currently have no cash at all lol...
just a thought did u put one fan thats sucking cool air in on the oppsite side of the box that u have the fan sucking out the hot air? if u place the fans right above each other all ur doing is suckin the fresh air right out as soon as it comes in.. hope this helps.

But thanks bro!
Got all the fans up and running. Now have 3 at the bottom for intake, and 2 at the top for exhaust at opposite ends. Temps seemed to have dropped a bit.
You did not need all those fans man. I was having the same problem get rid of the foil n paint those walls flat white and get rid of the shop lamps too that will help you out so much on temps. And from what I have read on here its better to have more exuast then intake
