Hi, I'm suffering from the indoor growers greatest problem, high temperature. My plants have just started the flowering stage on 12/12 cycle. I realize that the ideal temp range for flowering is 18-26<sup>0</sup>C(65-80<sup>0</sup>F). I have a dimmable ballast with 400 and 600 watt settings. When I run at 400w I'm getting 26<sup>0</sup>C, already quite high. At 600w I get 32<sup>0</sup>C. I have good airflow through the tent, the air is being changed at least every minute, probably more. I'm not looking for advice on cooling, there's nothing more I can do with the circumstances I'm growing in. At 400w I'm not to badly under powered. I've 4 plants in a 1m<sup>2</sup> tent. There's a link to the grow below. What I was wondering is has any one tried flowering at 32<sup>0</sup>C (89<sup>0</sup>f) and had a successful harvest?

Thanks for sharing that post, I've heard similar things before which is why I made the post, but I've no way of adding CO2. Just lots of airflow. I'm tempted to try my luck with the higher temps.
I'm not endorsing higher temps. I have to turn my light down to 75% or 50% sometimes. I'm always looking for ways to lower temps.
At tops of plants 80 is ideal, 85 will work, 90 will as well, 95 is about as high as you want to go, negative things start happening around 100. 110 plus forget about it. Sent from my SM-G900P using Grasscity Forum mobile app
