ideal temps

what are the ideal temps for growing? my temp is at 82 right now and im in vegging , how do i lower that to about 74-76?? what is the ideal temps/humidity for growing all the way through?

I'm not too certain. I know I am keeping mine at 80-84 right now and they are vegging like crazy. i keep humidity to aroun 65% and they seem to like it.

I have been told conflicting stories about temps in flowering. I was told that you shouldn't change the temp, but I have been told that in flowering you should drop temp to around 75.

Depending on where you have them growing, I have mine in a nice sized closet, so cooling them for me isn't a problem. It's keeping them warm.

You could try a cool mist humidifier. That might work. You could also maybe open the door at set periods for set times during the day or night.

I am not a expert, but I figured I could give you my two sense.

A humidity and temperature gauge are essential in any growroom. Daytime conditions should be 70-80 degrees without co2, 80-90 degrees with co2 until the last two weeks when daytime temps should be kept between 70-80 and co2 can be reduced to adjust for the lower metabolism. Night temperatures should be kept above 60 degrees to prevent stress. It is preferrable during flowering to have a night temperature drop of 10-20 degrees to stimulate flowering hormones and reduce stem elongation.

I find that low humidity causes stress on plants. I recommend 50-60% humidity until the final 2 weeks of flowering. At this point, the humidity should be lowered as much as possible to encourage the plant to seal and protect itself with additional resin. (I am able to get the humidity to go as low as 31%) I have been able to frost things up considerably this way. The higher humidity levels prior to final ripening reduce salt levels within the plant tissue and encourage healthy, more lush growth. i copied this from the FAQ located at the top of the page. lots of answers if you look there. best of luck.

i would say def.get a gauge that measures the heat/humid..u can get expensive one or a cheap one from walmart will work just fine for 3 bucks..and your temp isnt awful..yes you wanna get them a bit lower..but as long as its getting plenty of water..it will be fine..(think of outside,summertime..90+ temps..plants do fine.)..it depends on water when it comes to heat..do you have a fan in there??? i would hope so,it will help lower the temps and strengthen the plants to hold those big buds we hope for! hehe
but otherwise a humidifer will work.umm try sitting a cup of water below the lights..
but i have to disagree with the flowering temps..u can flower in cold weather..try not to go below 60..but if you keep it at a nice 60 or so..during flower.she will turn a nice purple color for ya..and keep the humidity low..u dont want moister in your buds..that causes mold.
idk..my two cent..im not a expert,im just saying...each to their own..

Click to expand...

temp: 65 night 75 day
humidity: below 70 % for veging, below 40 for flowering

my setup stays round 85 at peak, and seems to be round the max for me

so do i need a humidifer? and where should i place it inside or outside of the tent??

inside the tent.

i have added a stand up fan, a clip on fan and cool mist humidifer, and im still at 83, what am i doing wrong??

can anyone help me out?

Run a ductin from the ac outlet in the room where the tent is at to the tent, should help bring ur temp down. I have a 4'8x4'8 tent with 1000 hps, and I had temps around 89, now it's at 79, plants are loving it.
Check my journal, have a few pic of what I'm talkin about.
Hope it helps, good luck.

the ac unit i have is a window ac unit. how would i be able to run ducting from it into the tent??

duct tape is your friend my friend and either dryer vent hose or ac duct hose....
