Had a couple cold days and not really sure why but my room shows a low temp. Of 54 degrees F. It usually only gets down to the mid 60s. Is that cold enough to hurt if it doesn’t stay that cold for very long. An hour or so
i think you'd be fine if only for an hour or so. If you have a heat source beyond your lighting I suggest a Inkbird temp control gauge - I love mine - i have both ac and heat controlled from it - it keeps optimal temps as well as a 2nd inkbird with humidifier plugged into to it regulate humidity. good luckHad a couple cold days and not really sure why but my room shows a low temp.

That’s what I have always been told and read before. Gotta figure this out today. I have a few more areas I can caulk up. HopefullyBelow 65* and the foot zone shuts down. A shut down root zone stops.plant growth
I beleive yes. Ideal temps throughout. Any manipulating to get color is just bag appeal and is actually taking away (however small it may be) from yield and potentialSo now I’m a little confused...do we or do we not want optimal consistent temp and humidity of 70/50..?
First I’m hearing of purpling. What are the benefits? THANKS
This is more or less what i wanted to instill in people. I just happen to get more enjoyment out of messing with the coloring than i would out of a potential negative effect. If that doesn't match you and you still want purple, "true" purple plants purple at normal temperatures. Otherwise, you should be aiming to keep a standard night temperature of 68.If anything I beleive temps lower than 60 will slow down growth but not hurt the plant persay.
A lot of people like to lower temps for purpling but I beleive a plant with a true purple pheno expression will show in ideal temps which I consider to be 76 dah and 68 night.
When you lower the temps to bring purple out you are going to lose a bt in yield. It’s not a true purple pheno. Photosynthesis slows down and growth slows. Even at late stages.
I prefer my plants in idea conditions throughout and bring out the true phenotypical expression intended. Just my opinion.
Purple helps with bag appeal to some unknowing smokers so if that helps then it’s a good thing. It’s not making any better pot tho. Find a true purple strain and let that expression come out while it’s still thriving
Insulate the shit out of the shed. Make it like a hous. Don’t skimp on insulating it will help ALOTThanks to everyone for all the great info! I’m definitely not trying to alter away from optimal temps. To get a purple look at this time. I recently relocated to A dry cold state and have built a shed for my grow. My previous state was hot and humid always. Now I’m in cold dry 10% humidity. It’s been a challenge to get it dialed in. As soon as you think you have it right the weather goes from 10degrees to 70 over night. Just still getting it all put together. Upgrading constantly! I’m getting close just want to make sure I’m not going to loose them.
Do you feel that as opposed to ideal conditions say 68 night 76 day?I feel lower temps help with trichome production
