Ok so i have a spare maybe 12x12 bedroom. I have 2x 600 Watt apollo MH and HPS in a corner. The lights maybe cover a 8x3 area or so. Im new to this so trying to keep the temp down is a battle but have some new ideas from reading around ill try. Can i leave the door open to the room if the temps are getting 90+? Hasnt happend since first day jw ahead of time.

Setting up my 2nd grow. As summer is almost over i was gonna bring the plants out for the day to get sun, then bring them in for enough hours to get them 18 hours of light. Do i count light as "sunrise" to sunset" or is it when they get the light right on them? dosnt really matter jw. My current grow i just left the non autos outside as i had a long time to veg them.

1st grow-
5x thc bomb autos in 3 gallon smart pots
3x berry bomb autos in 3 gallon smart pots
2 Big Bomb autos in 3 gallon smart pots

The autos i had left outside but had started bringing them in at night to get some extra light. they are getting probably 20 hours between out/in total.

1 Thc Bomb in 5 gallon smart pot
2 Ice Bombs in 5 gallon smart pot

outside since middle of june. Will bring in and throw under light if i have space during shitty days if no sun.

2nd Grow (in rapid rooters now coming out today/tomorrow)
got 9 seeds into root plugs on tuesday
1 cherry bomb auto (free w/order giving to friend)
3 Big Bomb
3 Medi 2
2 Kush Bomb

all fem and in root plugs 5 or 6 i am throwing in 7 gallon smart pot and 2-3 in 5 gallon. Soil is promix with some perlite. I got the cyco nut line for free so i been using that on the prev grow and will continue here. Add some cal mag and have azamax/neem oil,ph crap for issues that arise.

It is ok to change from inside to out like this as long as i dont fuck up and leave them out as the days get super short cause they will flower then i think? So plan was to bring them in to keep in veg a little longer to increase yield? As im in no hurry 1st batch will be done this month/then end of summer.

So ya mainly im concerned on the brinign out and in and if that is or should i just grow a set inside only and some for outside only. Tips are welcomed i spend a lot of time reading here.

Oh ya almost forgot to ask, so it varies on number of plants under a light. But with the 2x 600 i could fit 8-10 under there?
just wanted to say hi and maybe learn a little more cheers

Also have solid dehumidifier and few fans to push air on plants/outside. Circuit in that room is switches to 20 previously. Ran a treadmill/pc/tv/fans before fine. Both lights run together just got end today so haven't tried all the fans and dehumidifier yet but I'm sure it works

yaaa i have a window. i been using some combo of 4 fans to get air out the window or in. I got 2 new 600 watt lights that i would throw my autos/regulars under if its rainy out or to get the autos more light when the sun goes down as i understand light for autos is mostly 18-6 to 24/0. My autos have been exposed to the lights a bit more than the regs. The regs have no issues that i can see. some pics of one of the autos. I am 90% sure this is due to the extra light? or too much heat? I keep the light 2 ft away from my tallest. did 0 training so they are kinda vertical some a bit taller than others, it is what it is there.

Cant see on the pics really at all but the tips on the top leafs are kinda burnt maybe and small fold over then some random yellowness, and some looking pretty shitty.

I am in late in flower for the autos. im at day idk 52 from seed. Have thc bomb auto 5x, they take 60 days from seed roughly and the other 2 strains take 65 and 75-85. Late in flower i know those bottom leafs will die off cause its going to the buds. so basically im trying to figure out why the light exactly is doing this so i can fix problem. It had happend like 4 days ago and i notcied and they responded pretty well to going back out side and less light inside. I had not exsposed them to any indoor light other than cfls erley on. 2 x600 watt lights hps and mh. Promix, cyco nut line. do a feeding once a week ish, and water the 3 gal autos about everyother day or 3rd. 5 gal regulars about once a week and i just feed them.

thought maybe too they need a feeding since maybe they are late in flower? last fed 2 days ago on sunday. they are due for water today but meh could wait 1 more day

thanks dudeys

edit: kinda wanna hit em with cal/mag and some nitrogen too, but then i wont know if it was heat/light or nuts :/ looks like nitrogen, and mag def? oh maybe cause i pumped up light past week on them so the nuts are getting used much more? i go light on nuts for the autos too, try for half dosages. soooooooo give em what i just said or just water like i would today/tomorrow and give em break from the 600 watts ?

You can leave the door open no problem during lights on but close it during lights off so the plant get that much needed darkness
