Are you growing in a tent? What is your set-up like? It sounds like you may need a stronger exhaust fan? Also, when you switch to 12/12 the cooling period is longer when the lights are out, so that may help. I think the general rule on exhausting air is that your intake/exhaust system should work to replace all the air in the space 2-3 times per minute? I'm probably wrong on that, but I swear a guy in a place told me that once. Or a book. Either way, sounds like an exhaust issue, not a light issue. Also, celcius or fahrenheit?
