I had MAJOR heat probs with my current grow. It got up to 100+degrees in the day and the plants seemed to adjust. I agree that the "75 degrees is ideal for indoor growing" is not always true. Every strain is different and originates from different parts of the world where the temperature varies considerably. I would say that 70-90 degrees is suitable for many strains. Cold temperatures will definitely kill your plants, but they seem to adjust to heat. My plants have been growing in 82-86 degree temps for the last two weeks and are loving it.

thanks for all the feedback guys. i think i have my situation better under control - i went to walmart last night at got a coolmist humidifier for $20 and a temp and humidity gauge for $6 (it also records the highest and lowest temp/humidity - very handy in this case to see how much the temps actually change). as soon as i got home i did an experiment by closing the door to the bathroom, with the humidifier on, and one fan blowing on my light and one on the plants. i can say the humidifier made a considerable difference in the temp inside the closed bathroom. the temp never got above 80 last night and never got below 74, relative humidity now is staying at 60%, up from like 41% before the humidifier.
hopefully my plants will really take off now! thanks again for all the feedback!

My plants haven't died they are doing good, there have been days when I go in and check the heat is 111d really hot of course I try to get the temps down and the norm is 90-95 from 8am to 5pm and down to 69d from 5pm to 8am. I'm saying this is not a good thing it just seams like these plants are doing ok. Maybe they would have been bigger.

Just curious.

ya i think heat that high would definitely stunt their growth.. hold old are they and how tall?
