Is worth continuing with LEDs + low temperature?

+1 on cmh and incandesant; but not a 100w-er: I'd go for a few halogen spot lights with wide reflectors. They add both it and some far red which is mostly missing from leds.

If your building your lights then try to make the led footprint the same as your cmh reflector footprint, that way it's easy to switch.

The tube heater has brought up the ambient temps to a better range 25/25.5c with a canopy temperature of 24/25c.
I normally aim for 25c 55/60% rh until later in flower then lower the rh as best I can usually 50/55% from week 5/6 on.
I checked out a Vpd chart today and it turns out that it works in my benefit atm, the chart recommends 65/70% for 24/25c which allows me to raise the temps a bit more and run the fan for shorter periods...its win win!
I'm not to keen on humidity at 70% in mid/late flower but if that's the recommended I'm happy to use for now.

I nipped a few shoots of and removed a few awkward leafs today.

Idk why but if I don't hold the camera away from the plant then zoom in and crop the photos have that limey appearance like the 1st photo.

Your clone domes on the floor... that isn't too much light for them? I've had issues in the past with too much light on my clones, I'm just curious how well your clones do under the veg lights where there are in the pic.
It’s about 100-150 par at the dome height. Little high but gotta start em young!
