I just checked the temp in my makeshift grow box. Its 90 F.

I've recently made adjustments and I'm thinking that might b a bit warm.

What do you think?

Shoot, I thought so... The plants are about 2 months old, using 6 42 watt CFL, no cooling or fans, but its vented. I should grab some pics...
 
Might wanan have a small fan with taht much CFL..they do produce quite a bit of heat. Plus, fan makes stronger plants and helps polinate too. :)

I gotta old industrial fan from idk what..looks like a 4" case fan, but runs on 120v. It runs 0.23-.26 Amp @ 18-20W and REALLY pumps out the air. :)

A case fan works good tho..
 
I had my peppers in a cold frame outside the other day...and it as around 91-94 degrees in it..the pepper plants seemed to love it. Where the Bhut Jolokia peppers come from, I think it is close to their natural growing temperatures.

I've got a couple plants with heavy leaf curl. Could the temp be causing this?
