Don’t you LED guys like to run closer to 80-82 anyway?

Yeah, the 80s isn’t an issue with LED. I don’t worry even if my tent gets in the high 80s to low 90s during the summer. I just point fans at the fabric pots to keep the roots cool and the plants don’t seem to be bothered by it.

i was just about to say with led you are just fine at 82, hell i run at 86 at the top of my canopy and 81 at the bottom in my tent during flower and the girls are always praying! run a solid 82 in the veg tent and humidty likes to chill at 50ish under similar blurple lights 600w mars hydros (2 of them rated for 220w ea) in a 4x4 area. the flower is under a quantum board, not sure if that effects things at all

ill keep this in mind, i generaly have some smaller fans pushing the plants for wind/stem strengthening

Someone told me about keeping the roots cool during a heat spell during my first grow. At one point the tent hit 96° but, when I stuck a temp sensor in the soil of the plants at the root zone, the temp was in the high low to mid 70s.its crazy what a little evaporative cooling can do with fabric pots. The downside to fabric pots, though, is that they do contribute more to the humidity in the tent.

with that knowledge i wonder what you could do with a co2 grow, hot tops and cold bottoms
