Wow man, your temps are bad (but I guess you don't need me to tell you that). Get a bigger fan!

When I was growing with a 150 HPS in a rubbermaid, I upgraded to the fan I have now which is ~140 CFM on the high setting. Search for the "S&P TD" series. I swear, they're made for growing in a rubbermaid. Let me see if I can scrounge up some pics...

The new fan:


The rubbermaids - you can see the two old fan that were replaced, one for the light and one for the interior cabin:


The weed it grew:

I don't think my fan are an issue right now... The scrubber is the main problem I'm pretty sure... but I agree with you that one of these fan would definatly help!

I'm just trying to do the best with what I have. I'm tired of spending money on a cab I can't control 100%.

I've spent more than $250 bucks for this and it is nowhere to getting the job done.

Yeah I hear ya. I spent a ton of money on a grow cab that ended up getting chopped to bits. I saved most of the components that I could, like the fan and bulbs. Then I found the cab that I'm growing in now for free, used all of my old stuff, and built a great cab that works perfectly for almost no cost. I guess it just takes a few trials before the perfect set up is found, but when it is, oh man is it sweat!

Sorry for the non-update.

I stopped worrying about those plants since my friend, who have them in is appartment, isn't as motivated as me, I just stopped asking question on the plant and he stopped talking of them to me... I don't even know if they are still alive.

I've worked hard to get clone to put them outside, and guess what, out of 40 clones I made, only 8 made out outside. And guess what... they are almost 10 feet TALL!!!!!!

I'M sick tired of putting effort in this and getting bad result like this... I can't do the work alone since I don't have my own place... Always need partner... and I'm starting to see why there a thread talking about why partner are bad.....

YES PARTNERS SUCK! Do shit on your own or don't do it.

God damn... that's it... Not sure what will happens next!

just get a 12 dollar fan from target, nice little sqaure one, tap it to the side, on the opposite side of the tub just cut a whole of equal size or half its size and blow fresh air right through it, done.
