I have built a rather large vivarium and it doesnt seem to get enough light for the plants. I have 2 cfl 6500k bulbs and a grow bulb i found at lowes for $4. I planted about 5 months ago and nothing seems to grow...mostly just wilt and die. I think do to the lack of light and the heat being produced by the bulbs its killing the plants. Sometimes it is 80 degrees on the floor! I installed a small 8"x3" vent right above the bulbs hopping to let some of the heat escape but not much change, also I have two pc fans blowing inside but all that seems to do is move hot air around. pic below
I took this right after i finished.
Any ideas?
