Too hot?

Hi,

I have a termometer with an extern reader aswell as the built in one so my aim was to use it to measure two different places. One near soil and one in the middle of the cabinet.

I currently run a cooltube with a 185cfm fan that sucks air from outside trough piping over the cooltube and out of the cab.

My carbon scrubber is on a different fan running 160 m3/h (sorry not sure of the conversion to CFM here! And couldn't find it on the net.)

So I have two different fans running seperate from each other. I have 4X5" intakes and 1X4" outtake connected to the scrubber fan.

Current temps in the cabinet are 28c in the middle of the closet and this never goes over 30c.

But under the lamp the one sensor that is lying in the soil (atop).

Constantly goes over 30c, highest I have seen it is 37c!

The plants seems to thrive I am currently growing some unknown bagseeds I got from a friend as a first time grow. They are 14 days old today and they seem to thrive under the light.

Currently having the cooltube 15cm (6") above the highest plant which is 7cm.

Now my question is. Is it still to hot for my plants? Which temperature should I go by? And how can I fix this? I am not really sure what to do since I have a cooltube connected to outside drawing 10-16c cold air trough it. I can rest my hand atop it and its tepid at worst.

I have looked into making one of http://forum.grasscity.com/do-yourself/218207-diy-humidifer-chiller-small-grows.html these but having to import the ultrasonic fogger made me think I might aswell just buy a humidifier that spew out cold mist.

Thoughts and answers as always are appreciated!

I live and grow in a very hot environment. I have my fan sucking through my scrubber and blowing across my cool tube and then the air outside. That way I know the air is getting scrubbed no matter if there is a leak down stream, and the bulb is getting fresh air. I'm a new grower, just trying to help out.

The system that blows over the cooltube is seperate completely and there is no smelly leak insofar atleast. The issue still remain.
