  1. Looking much improved. Let it do it's thing. Don't get OCD and mess with it so much. It may be almost time to introduce a light fan.

  2. I've had a small fan in there for about a week now just to circulate the air a bit. It was pointed away and didn't sway them at all, but I tilted it up about 2 days ago to give them a nice little sway with the change in light pattern. 20170820_181910.jpg Seems they like it :)
     
  3. And Yea, I try not to mess with them, just peek in, water when needed and let em be.

  4. It actually gets pretty warm in there since the lights have aluminium housings, and in such close formation. Plus there's only about a 2 inch vent hole at the back of the box. It's not hot, but I'm guessing around 70° In there. Gotta get a new temp/humidity gauge tho since I lost my old one, It's deff a bit humid.
     
  5. 78 is optimum grow room temp. Plants grow more rapid in warmer temps to a point. With led 80 degrees is a good target. Growing is a complex set of chemical reactions most of which take place faster at higher temps.

  6. New growth is coming in faster and greener with 24/7 cycle. They seem to be drinking a lot more with the constant light. Still only using Poland spring water lol 20170821_223656.jpg 20170821_223709.jpg 20170821_223452.jpg 20170821_222105.jpg 20170821_222120.jpg

  9. Since I bought my QB260 my bud tent temps have jumped up 4-6 degrees. That thing makes so much light that it can't help but add heat. I have a hard time keeping it below 85. I was worried at first but I think these are my densest buds ever. They feel like rocks. The plants get used to the higher temps. They can tolerate about 85 without too much ill effects. Above that and you'll get taco leaves on the top for sure.

    I do think that the most rapid growth is at about 80-82 with led as long as you can keep your res cool enough if doing hydro. My plants are such a thick jungle that the temp at the top of the canopy is like 8 degrees higher then the bottom of the tent the foliage blocks so much light.
