I just popped 4 seeds for test run in 36 degrees on the coastal bend, I too wish this artic air would piss off, it's buggering up my 1st. Coco/perlite grow. Seedlings will start in Pro-mix from Walmart, 80%peat w/coco & perltie in 3" jiffy pots w/holes in the bottom.

Absolutely ... and much of that has to do with leaf surface area. I'm guessing.

Know I have not proven this but I feel like if the root temps are adequate we can run cooler air temps. Because ime root temps do affect plant and leaf temps. It's not the air temp that's important it's the leaf and plant temls that are key.

So a heat mat may really make a big difference for you... again I have not tested this but my knowledge and principles behind would lead me to strongly think so

I can see it in the way my grandkids are being raised, timeouts, they all winners, (whiners in my book) bunch of little twat citizens we have growing to add to the rest of the lot. New to growing indoors, I use led and never used or stole street lights like the rest of you to grow our little friend.

There is a new app out to test your lights. PPFD app , love to hear from someone with an actual par meter to test and compare against the real thing.

for an un standardized test but with a professional setup and par meter look up Migro. He tests every new light and even shows where his company lights stand in the list. Which is not the top. Youtube

It must be the logo making all that difference .... lol

I came across this article ... fairly recent and posted on a website that is generally seen as a positive source of information: https://growdoctorguides.com/dwc/full-spectrum-led-grow-lights/
