Also theres plenty of ppl who grow in high temps and still get nice bud, i still have the option of how many lights to have going, and how many plants i wish to grow, its not like high temps at the begining is gonna totally ruin it they survive in much hotter temps

I wouldnt go so far as to say anyone wishes you burn anything man.

But 4 feet in height minus your hood minus the height of your medium. It wont leave u much room for plants.

No one has said anywhere that u cant grow in 90 plus temps. U asked in the begining if 90 was too hot.

Everyone has their own way of doing things and i would never tell anyone how to do anything. But u seemed to be looking for advice.
A 600watt light hanging at 48" or less should cover almost your entire tent. Theres no need to run two.
It doesnt make much sense to add more light and the cost of upping the temps so much.

Now as for the free power...
There really is no such thing, just because your not paying for it doesnt mean its free power. Its not a tree in the woods type of scenario.
70% of wanna be ganja drug lords get busted because they think they are smart and get free power.

Do what ever you think is right man but i wouldnt think about 2 or more 600 watt lights, in an attic its going to stick out on the cops thermal camera like a blk cock at an asian orgy.

I can always top and use sea of green my walls are retractable so i have plenty of width, the space i have is the space i have i cant change that all i can do is adapt to it and make the best of my situation, if its too hot to run all my lights then i wont, but if i can then i will cause more light gives me a better chance of a bigger yield, if i hadnt of taken on advice id be still running all my lights and struggling with temp, instead ive now got a good temp good humidity and good air flow. Ive got a good 3-4 weeks to make tweaks. For a smaller plant am i better vegging for less time?

Honestly, 2 600W in an area that size is overkill. The added heat issues that come with the extra light is not worth it. As you said, 1 light on its at 84 degrees.. Id just rock it like that. Your plants will like you alot more for it. You will still get a good yield and good quality off of 1 600w light.

Ive added more ventaltion now 1 lights reading between 79 and 81 canopy level. My friends lending me his air con unit so im gonna wait until flower then see what i can run keeping it under 85 maybe 87 at a push. My walls are retracable and ive made some nice vents and covered them with vent filter it dropped the temp right down

The plant will usually grow between 1/3 to half its final height when u switch to 12/12 so i would only veg for a couple weeks maybe til they are 12"
And you should be ok.

I dont want you to think that im a yield nazi or something man im just tryin to save u headaches.
Everyone just thinks as many plants as i can cram in with as many lights aswell .

There are many people on here pulling massive yields in areas the size of yours using one light over like four plants.
If you plan to flower 15 plus plants in that grow space u will not get the yield you are hoping for.
There just wont be the room.

My honest advice man
Would be to veg for 2-3 weeks pick out the best 5-6 plants and get rid of the rest.
Install a scrog screen and u will get as much harvest or more than if you try to flower all of those.

Thanks man i will defo be making some changes. 3x lights is not an option now i know this. And tbh looking after 12 plants in a small space is gonna be a little hard. Maybe i set my sights a little high for my first time, thats why i felt abit pissed coming to the realization lol

Seriously bro
If u can reach the goal of 1 gram per watt.
600grams shouldnt unattainable.
And thats a decent amount of stash for personal.
Lower temp
More room
Lower maintenance is the way to go.
Go look through the 600 watt club and u will see some serious yields.
Anything more then 1 600 is for people with more room and more supply needs.

so i started my plants 48 hours ago and so far everythings been fine 17 of my 21 plants are showing and look to be doing well, but after getting a thermometre to day i keep getting readings 0f 91 to 93f, now i have to 4 inch carbon filters, 2 fans, a great air circulation, when im inside the makeshift tent it feels like a nice summer breeze, so whats the crack guys? are these temps gonna affect my babys?
I'm growing in over 90° right now and I have for the last 15 years,
No problem My weed is fire.
As long as you have good air flow and the moisture is low you're straight

I'm in the mid to upper 80's myself. The worst effect IMO is the frost buildup. My friend grows the same clone as me with same food and lights and gets almost double the frost. The only difference is he can keep his tent @ 80 and lower.

Very high temps = fluffy buds and less terps. Plants drink more, generally need to lower ec.
You can work with 90 but it's too high imo. It also puts stress on your lights (overheating) and other electrical components. High temps during day then drop for night causes plants to stretch more. It also can cause humidity spikes at lights out and dew which can cause mold issues.
