Here is the problem with that philosophy. U said it may ne a bit more heat..
A bit more heat takes 300 bud and makes it 150 bud.. 5 degrees thats all it takes...
Experianced growers ahould preach more about temps!
They are the differeance between mediocrity...
And thinking well we can build a swamp cooler..
When i invest money i do it luke the mob loaned it too me.
I dont invest in maybe and hopefullys..
That's just with the tent running for now. The led shuts off at 12:00pm for its 18/6 currently.
No the LEDs were on when I took those readings. They're about to turn off in one min :)I totally agree about heat affecting quality. I just kind of think your underestimating the heat from the t5's a bit, 300watts of t5 is still going to put out a decent amount of heat.. But yea if his temps are at the point where a 400w will push him over the edge of being too hot i def recommend against it. Like i said just trying to work out the best gear for him.
Swamp coolers can be pretty dang effective if you live somewhere with 20-40% humidity. Can drop temps a solid 5+ degrees. Bout to make one for my veg tent to keep humidity up.
So its 73 with the lights off..? thats not good maybe t5 is the way to go.. or just do a ton of research and save save save for the DIY cob leds..
I apologise.Here is the problem with that philosophy. U said it may ne a bit more heat..

Oh that fine!Ya close. It's lights on at 7pm to 7am for me. Just a judgement call
Lights off dont matter as long as its above 60 and lower than 80I totally agree about heat affecting quality.

After reading that back i see its seems a lil abrasive..
I guess that not only am i trying to share growing knowledge with you, but also steps to move you forward with a clear cut plan on what to do to get there. Im trying to share with you the mentality that goes along with being a successful grower too.
It matters...
I want 300 bud! Not 150 bud! :)Here is the problem with that philosophy. U said it may ne a bit more heat..

Ya i know them t5 do put off some heat..I totally agree about heat affecting quality.

For sure. If ill gets there law passed im gonna set up my daughter with a lil grow. Dwc and a 400..oh well 73 with lights on thats not bad at all honestly..
All good bro i don't take offense easily haha, i hope nothing I'm saying is coming off too strong or anything either. I'm glad your doing that because its a learning process for me as well, say i wanted to set my buddy up on a little grow this knowledge will definitely come in handy.
I remember those days of sitting and staringOh that fine!
Materfact ive used that schedule too so i could see them before i left for work in the morning...
That was when i used to just set and stare at them 24/7
I grew out of that with in a few months. Niw i check on them at lights on and thats about it...
Lights off 60-80I want 300 bud! Not 150 bud! :)
So how hot is too hot? What is the ideal temp?
I would say 76 degrees for flower weeks 6789 without c02I want 300 bud! Not 150 bud! :)

He really cant cool or handle over 400 watts of heat.Was just saying if its already 73 at lights off then with lights on obviously it would be higher than that which would def be bad with hid.. was trying to find what his base temps are..
Oh perfectI would say 76 degrees for flower weeks 6789 without c02
And prob 79 to 81 with c02 in flower weeks 789
100000%. I only recommend 400 hid IF temps can be controlled. Not kinda controlled. Lol. But I beleive a passive intake with a good can fan will do it IF his temps around the temp can be controlled. If you fluctuate up into the 80s where your tent is then it might not work.Here is the problem with that philosophy. U said it may ne a bit more heat..

It would be just personal meds for her..
I don't let my temps sway from73-77. Unless I let it go a lil cooler late flower100000%. I only recommend 400 hid IF temps can be controlled. Not kinda controlled. Lol.

Well week 8 and 9 i dropped it to 72-75I would say 76 degrees for flower weeks 6789 without c02
And prob 79 to 81 with c02 in flower weeks 789
