and how far in inches is your light from you canopy?
You really do need to know the canopy temp. Thats the important one.

I've got my circulation fans set to go on at various times during the day. And stay on while the lights run. And the exhaust fan turns on and off half an hour before and after the lights do. Speed controller was added to not only keep noise down. But limit thermal exhaust to keep temps stable.

This is also something you need to know.
But that sounds way to low. Nugs?

Low? I would have thought 3 feet is high. I've got mine anywhere between a foot and a foot and a half. Mind you. That 1.5ft is max height. Got a cooling fan in the way.
@giglewigle you should run your fans with your lights.

10 is OK. mine have seen under that nearly every night and it hasnt stunted them. Maybe slower growing but its something they can deal with.
May be better of instead of buying a AC and generator invest in a insulated shed instead?

LED confuses me but i was under the impression they had to be like 30 inches off the canopy due to the intensity of the light.

Depends on the chips being used. And how hard they're driven.
Cheap lights might throw more heat than expensive ones. And have more hotspots.
But higher quality lights are likely to smash the plants with way more photons. Even if their penetration isn't matched by hps/mh.

idk i might be better of getting it properly insulated i live at home thay know im growing so i dont have 2 be stealth but i can see myself getting a shed we have a small yard so id probenly be better of insulating the caravan better or growing a heat tolerent strain idk more than likely current setup is gunna have 2 do i really dont have the patience and know how to fuck around with timers and controllers in shit my last grow went smoothly though under the same conditions so i might just have to veg longer or somthing idk fuck it as long as shes growing dont know how the flower will go tho hopefully i get somthing

I find the rule of thumb with those LED-COBs is if you can feel the heat from them on the back of your hand. Then that's probably too close.
Also. Plants will tell you pretty quick if they don't like the intensity. Bleaching and or drooping/curling I believe are the signs.
