heating problems with LEDs

[grg61458]

Hey guys, new grower on 3rd grow, I'm using California works 550 Solar System LEDs light. So far its great, fantastic veg going on right now. But Im having a little heat problem. Its at about 71 to 75 degrees most of the time. I wonder if a heat lamp would be okay and not affect the LED light spectrum.

That's pretty good temp range in my opinion.

I have the solar flare and my temps stayed at 77-79.


Plants look good

I would add one or two CFL bulbs to generate some heat...cheaper than a heat lamp and will provide some additional light which can't hurt

71-75 is a non-problem.

That's a good temperate range. No need for more heat.

what makes you believe you have a heat problem?

Those look awesome, short and bushy. Just wondering how old are they? Did you top them?

yes I top them young at about 7 to eight nodes to keep them short. Their about 4 wks now. Thanks

I just like to keep them as close to 78 as possible. Not on the lower 70s I think that why they appear just a little slow but not bad.

If u aren't enriching w/ CO2, low 70s is awesome...

Like someone mention, if you wanted it a bit hotter add some cfls. It would also add some extra lights for them too so why not? But 70-75 is excellent temperature range. Don't need worry about it when it is not a problem.
