So I’ve got mixed reviews and I’ve it countless hours in on the research
So the question is how hot are you supposed to run your led tents
I’ve read that leds lack certain things from hps lighting so you run them 82-85 F but I’ve seen a lot of folks run them at normal cooler temps in the 70 degree range and I just trying to finally get to the root of it

I don't worry about it much. But middle 70's to low 80's is usually about perfect for LED. I've had temps in low 70's and into the 90's, and they were fine. I don't really follow the VPD since my RH is so low, but in my case lower temps are actually a little better.

But like I said, I don't concern myseft much with it.

I found 81-82 ideal. My exhaust kicks on at 84.( I’d guess I could get hotter) Lights out I been running 77. This is after a few grows led that I found these to be my target temps that worked the best.
Also found with led I needed a heater and a humidifier to get whole environment right. They don’t run all the time just supplemental to environment. With everything together in sync my tent barely runs anything but the light.
All this takes time to learn. Be it your equipment ,lung room and chosen method to grow dictates the environment inside your tent. It’s your job to figure out how to tweak things to perfection. It takes time. You’ll get it.
I was over aggressive with love on my first grows. Makes more problems imo. Now I struggle to remember I got plants to tend to. Usually catch them when there about dried right out
