Hi, it looks like I'll have to use my 1000 watt HPS on it's 60% setting to keep the heat down. At 100% its almost 90f and at 60% it's 81-82f. With 85-90% humidity here the dehumidifier is running constantly pulling out at least 2 gallons per day which adds heat to my room.
Okay what I'd like to know from you all is how much will running the light at only 60% at this critical time effect the outcome? There is a 70% setting but that increases the heat another 2 degrees. Am I better running at 60% or 70% ( 81-82f or 83-85f ) What would you do? Or are temps in that range irrelevant?

These pics are at 4 weeks into flower
