Temps are good for the time being... It will get hotter in the summer. I use minimal amounts of air conditioning in the summer to reduce electric costs (I can handle heat), and usually set house to 78deg. Will need to drop it a couple degrees this summer! But I'm hoping that evaporation from the pots/plants will reduce temperature in tent even more (very dry climate). Fingers crossed!
Hey, I'm being critical over semantics (which I still disagree with lol, just politely) in the end, you know what separates the men from the boys?
Environment! (I would put lst/cropping in the list as well, but different category)
I've flowered the same strains (same cuts, exact same genetics) with an average temp of 78, and the same strain, at 74....
and at 74*, the occasional strain did better. One run I did Tangerine Dream and White Widow, the Tangie died at 55* iirc (lights off temp). The Tangie also loved higher temps during lights on. So you have to play with it. But if you are doing a single strain run, you would be surprised at what a 4* difference can do for a particular strain. Everything you are doing is right. Even you intake blocking...you are slowly figuring out the "control" of it. A
killer grower...has their environment locked down. Seems like you are 80% of the way there.
The secret to excellent growing (imo) is
nailing the environment. Not
close, not
pretty good, but
nailing it. You would be surprised at what an objectively underfed plant can do under the perfect conditions.
And it seems like you are already there, if you can maintain 77*. Rh, I apologize if I keep missing. My point is, if you can manipulate those intakes to be a singular flow, you could have the range of 73*-80*, which is a pretty nice range to have control over. Most cannabis plants will thrive in the average of that region. The occasional one, will prefer one extreme over another.
But if you can
control through intake blocking etc, your temps within 2*....that's a serious deal. I know a couple growers who would kill for that type of control.
What are you running, just out of curiosity? I'm sorry if you mentioned it, just a quick mention again.
