why higher humidity at night?
Is that daytime not a bit hot I am just asking I don't know?
Temps are fine with co2 ....only wish I could reach those temps in my hut n garage area lol.
It's usually 22°C ish but they still grow great for me.
They, whoever they are? say to run led rooms 3 - 4°C warmer than HPS rooms due to lack of far reds in white led fixtures.

Would it not be better to force the plant to produce THC-terpines to combat the UV light that give it what could be called as plant suntan lotion ? Have you tested it with UV? Are you suggesting using it or stay away?
i use it. its in the epsom salt i use, along with the agromax 2ft pure uv

Yeah I'm not getting all dressed up every time I check in on the girls which I do several times a day...
understood, but as advanced as you are, cant just wire a switch to turn them off before entering ? i'd like to see your results from using it.

i agree its not something to be ignored.

once when i first installed them i forgot they were there and worked under them for a while without sunglasses or long sleeves. felt really stupid after. but since then i have remembered to turn them off each time.
I am considering having a little warning light that goes on OUTSIDE of my tent when UV is on. Partially just for the joy of added complexity, but also partially to keep me from toasting my pasty, easy-burn skin too much.

Yes that makes sence
So without CO2 what temp day and night should I try and and aim for?
rest follow the VPD charts as close as possible?
Seedlings different that regular veg re-temp etc ?
I have AC and humidifier-dehumidifier so can hold things
steady to some some degree I hope.
Warming up here, spring.
So will be lots of heat to grow just knowing what to keep things at.
I have a mixed bag going to start soon.
Should assemble new fan, thanks for the info BTW

with your LEDs and ambient 0f 28 to 30C seems to be the spot.
As long as the nighttime temps don't fall too far, you should have normal stretch in flower.

I am certain when they hit flower it will be stink'in hot.

Hope to be setup soon but who knows.

lol, you still have to assemble all your stuff, it's amazing how much work it takes setting up.
at least I'm like less than a month out from harvesting for the first time in a while after the reset. Gonna be a while till the next round too as my veg room is just ticking over on the amount of light in there now.
