I can't comment on co2 because I have never tried it but you can get away with much higher temps than people make out. People act as if your plants will die of temps get into the 30s.

Indeed keep them in the sweet spot if you can but for some (me) it's not possible.

I grow in a tin garage. Ambient temp in summer in my shed was 60c most afternoons when i went in to water the plants. I draw air into the tents from outside of the shed and that kept temps in the tents down to about 35-40 on the hotter days. I have grown through 2 summers now and i can tell you my plants don't miss a beat in the heat.

I must admit though I do try and time so I'm not harvesting in the heat. Nothing worse than a snap dried harvest
Absolutely you can grow in high temps. I did similar to you for years through QLD summers without co2 or environment controls. Probably some of the best learning I had on indoors in relation to heat, Rh, EC levels, HPS light distance off the canopy and feeding schedules. Not to mention trying to keep a healthy root system in F&D at the same time.

I think old mates trying to have a controlled environment.

Btw, went and had a splurge the other day.

Humidity is hard to keep on top of. I’ve got a desiccant dehumidifier which pumps heat into the tent. I have a portable refrigerated a/c that I going to set up because when the dehumidifier is on, the tent is reaching 32ish degrees. I’m a bit uncomfortable with the temp being that high.
I’m aiming for 28*, 55%rh and 1500ppm, mid flower
Don’t stress about it too much, if temps rise and Rh gets low just drop EC, and water more often. No need to over think it, it’s supposed to be an enjoyable hobby.

Looks great mate. Id maybe get in there and strip some leaves and open it up a bit but others will tell you to leave them alone so...
Cheers man! I’m abit on the fence about the defo I’ve actually taken heaps off these in veg, but only plucked really minimal since the flip, this is my first run in about 5 years and my first run ever with led so I’m pretty happy, would you still pluck leaves this late in flower?

:hump:
Very nice, mate.
Enjoy!
Cheers mate.
Haven’t used it yet, maybe tonight. Going to download the app for it and have a play first.
Was looking at the Mighty first and went with the Crafty+ for the USB charging and a bit more stealth for portable.
Just got to work out two temp settings to load in. Any recommendation?

Edit: Update, looks like It’s been removed from the App Store for now along with all Vape apps & and default settings will have to do. Will check Android via Mrs later.
