Cooling down shelf in growroom

Hey all,

I planted 20 germinated seeds about 5 days ago. They're sitting under a fluorescent light for 24 hours a day. It's not that strong of a light. The temperature is measuring 88 degrees, and I wanted to know how to lower it. They currently have a fan on them, and look like they are curved from the force of the fan. Should I wait until I move them under the 400 HPS and get a portable AC unit?

Temps a little high, but take the fan off the babies. get clear plastic cups 16oz , cut them down to a height that will occomodate the baby with an inch of room to grow. spray the cup and cover each baby with one. they like humidity when they are babies.... 1ist 10to 20 days. remove cups, spray 1-2 times a day. After 2nd set of leves form fully, remove cups (which you have been making taller and taller every couple days, if they are growing) for a half hour, tomorrow an hour, next day 4 hours, you'll see what they need, until they do not need help. AC would be nice w 400 xpect 5-7*F more temps, think extractor fan, to somewhere.. fan moving air, I bounce it off a wall, never directly on the plants, above, yes, below, yes. Nothing wrong with fluros during early veg.
