Temperature control your room not your tent. Dont bother with humidity/co2 really unless its in some way essential. Post pics withiut leds on :-)

No i dont control temp in my room...what for you can't outside and thats where everyone says you get the best results..look here my temp in my room has gotn way over 90 degrees...now i could run ac..but then you raise the humidity...also i have never had a mold problem...just as long as you have air flow now when i flower like i said i use 3 fans thats it...the only time i cool it down is if it gets over 95 or stays in the mid or high 90s..thats all..i dont use a tent..and mu dehumidifier..is set on 55 and i leave it there for the whole grow.......

wow 90+ degrees and no issues? i thought temps were supposed to be 70-82 degrees unless adding addition CO2 which then can go up to 85 or so. im running between 86-89 during lights on and 67-69 degrees lights off. thinking of adding a portable AC unit but interested in your opinion if you constantly run at 90+

Love how this starts out "I got a bunch of that stuff! Donnt use it anymore cuz they arent as good as an old fashioned HPS"

LED's.... people still think they sell decent grow lights, lol. Them are for fools... fools who like big numbers on boxes...

If you didnt build your LED light yourself, its garbage. Example? You already know your "600w" lights are <90w

Finish the grow if you can, but move on to some grow lights after.... Fucking 8" exhaust on 3 led lights, lol.....

If using LED its fine... heat is not as intense as HPS...I'm assuming that's what you're using.

Is the true wattage draw in your first post a joke or are they actually that low wattage?
I have seen lots of "600w grow lights" at around 130-260w mark but never seen any with 82w true draw.
Crazy!
