Best grow temps

[MummaJoints]

Hey Peoples,

 

Just need to best clarify grow temps, humidity etc.

My set up seems to be  going well  for Veg( spewing with my Led purchases ) will try find the $$ to upgrade.

So far Humidity ranges 45 to 55 % and Temps from 21 to 25 degrees.

Any more input would be appreciated.

Dont wanna fuck anymore up.

 

Cheers

Mj

Heya MJ , Those temps are a lil low in veg, by about 3-4 degrees overall, but the plants should do fine. Sorry to hear about ya dud LED's, we all gotta learn somehow.

Humidty anywhere from 30-80% is usually fine. Can go hotter in the grow room, but roots must be kept cool.

Thinking of it, if you took out ya panel, chucked a 400wer  HPS in there ya temps will come up. Cost ya about 200-300 bucks depending on shade and globe used in it.

 

Peace. Nibbler.

Yeah I really fucked up the lighting...Grrrr Spent the entire budget.

If only I found you guys sooner.

Oh well, Will figure something out for warmth and persevere.

Was too concerned with power consumption, being wired up to the

landlords grid.

Thanks,

Mj

Probably looking at an extra 200 bucks a bill to run the 600wer and fans etc. If ya can get away with it, would be ya best option. If not a cupboard with a 400w and a cooltube be best bet, bill will go up about 120-140 a bill. Or 3 x Philips 80w CFL's in same cupboard is only 240w, and they can flower plants.

No wukkas, i have seen single Philips 80wers work well here, results were a bit fluffy, but was lack of light intensity to penetrate , 3 would kick arse in a 1.2m x 0.5m cupboard space, and at inspection time, nilodor in bottom of cupboard, turn off fans..... come thru, leave, turn back on....... easy.

I have found that if you can stay within these ranges, you should do very well.

Temperature:
21 - 29 degrees C
humidity:

60 - 70% for vegetative growth.

40 - 60% during flowering (lower humidity helps to reduce the risk of fungus in your buds).

80 - 90% for rooting clones and cuttings (high humidity helps cuttings draw up moisture).

24-29C in the tent  @45% my girls seem to love it.

Try bumping your humidity up a little, they will love it even more.

I try to flower around 45% or a little lower if I can, seems to help increase resin production.

The plant tries to seal itself off from moisture loss

What is a good way to increase humidity? when my fans go, it takes all the humidity away...

I need them on too because its getting up 32-34 during the middle of the day (yes lights are on during the night)

My humidity is 20% min / 35% max each day.

Fans are 125mm fresh cool air in the tent and 150mm out through cooltube.

I do put a dish of water under the light.
