Get your temps around 68 lights off. That would be considered the lowest. 65 is OK but don't do it too offten.

No more then 80-85 max, preferably under 80. Lights on. Over 80 should use Co2. Under that no Co2.

Too low and yes they can slow down as there metabolism slows. A slight chill at 68 is OK it makes them grow aggressive but too low and they slow down too much.

Try to stay consistent with temps and humidity throughout your grow to maximize growth during the entire cycle and you will have very excellent bud size and compactness along with strong terpene development. (Smell)

Gonna switch nutes on Friday to GH Flora series so between the 1200 watts of HID and new nutes I'm hoping to get more aggressive growth soon
is your basement a concrete floor?

once you get that extra light, your res temps are gonna go up. if you can keep them between 65 and 68F you'll be good. keeping the buckets on bare concrete should help cool them down.

I always suggest that you place your res outside the room or if space allows, build a floating wall and keep the res on the other side of the wall.

Yes my res sits on the concrete floor in the basement which he normally stays and even 60°. Think today I will take your advice and stop and grab some longer to being so I can put my rib is outside of the grow room. Thanks for all the advice guys I really appreciate it… And I'm sure I'll keep the questions coming! Thank you for your time and all your advice

one thing you might want to check out with the GH nutes is called the Lucas Formula. it's a simple nute mixture that works great too. it's basically 1 part micro to 2 parts bloom. you have to use RO water though. the actual formula is 8 mL micro/ 16 mL bloom per gallon RO. i use at either 4/8 or 5/10 because i'm at high altitude and 8/16 is too strong for me.

it's very pH stable, you don't need to add any additives too.
