led likes temps of 82-88 just sayin... your fine
edit* do your walls suck in when you zip up the tent? if so your fine on air flow. you want the 8 inch set on med to low setting and probably 2 exhaust ports open

Ok dope. I did actually read that recently but my buddy who also grows with a similar setup insists he keep his temps under 80. and yea, walls suck in big time. I made a post with more details on the setup but it might get lost in the madness, Im going to edit the original post.led likes temps of 82-88 just sayin... your fine

man i use a shitty 8 inch exhaust fan for a crammed 5x10 you are most definitely fine
to go a little more in depth on the facts led has a lack of infra red lighting so it takes a little bit higher temps for the leafs to absorb the light correctly.
i would assume your grow is going just fine and your worried. i wouldn't until they show signs of issues
keep on keepin on!

Temps depend on the strain too, if you want optimal conditions. Some strans perform better than others, to a degree, in high temperatures. I always check grow diaries or research a strains preferred climate before buying. I honestly don't think it is a huge difference, but its worth mentioning

i did forget this fact* thank you for including it!
Ive got a mystery plant outside in a solo cup that i practice high stress traing on, and nutrient combinations etc. And its on concrete, in the deep south, in zero nutrient potting soil with no perlite or anything. and the damn thing is thriving. Lol

we do tend to forget it is a weed
Ill grab a picture. ive topped it once already. Remember this plant is nothing im proud of and i do not treat it well at all. It came out of a bag of street weed. Hang onwe do tend to forget it is a weed
Yeah, i actually do. I was shopping for a new nutrient lineup and more importantly root care. I finally found a recipe with help from a botanist from Clemson university. Ill dig it out, give me a litte bit

Great point made here venting your exhaust outside is a must also.
Ill get everything together. Here is the end result, 98% of it any way. Its Jacks 3, 2, 1 hydroponic 5-12-26, Epsom salt and calcium thats 15-0-0. See pictures for amounts and times. Medium is coco/perlite (coco loco) 5 gallon felt containers. I added a bloom bacterial strain to go with the one pictured from tribus, I also added/adding house and garden amino acids, and root Excelurator. Im a week or 5 days into this schedule and i saw a huge positive difference in the test subject.

I really appreciate all the feedback guys! This is my first grow, I've been procrastinating for years... haha. I did a cpl small ones when I was young (we're talkin nearly 20 years ago) and never had any stellar results, wasn't taken very seriously and it wasn't easy growing in my closet at moms house. lol. You've all been super helpful. Def interested in your little tester there too haha. I have another thread I started a while back where I am going to keep track of everything. I was supposed to have this up and running more than a month ago, but the electrician took his sweet as time getting over here to install the sub-panel for me. Can't really blame him with everything going on though. I am adjusting my temps on my readouts and will update when I get these clones in! Once I get this all dialed in, I want to work on an automated watering system. I have a nice drainage table and a res and stuff that I got from a friend who doesn't grow anymore. I'm supposed to spend a cpl days away at the end of August so I want to make sure the girls get their water.

Actually just had another thought... if I set me fans to Auto (they're both connected to a digital readout), when it is in the desired range, both fans basically turn off. Is that ok? Or should I set their speeds manually until I find a sweet spot? I'm assuming that I want to have them running 24/7, otherwise I am losing airflow and negative pressure. Thanks!

Yup. All my fans - both exhaust and circulation - are running 24/7 when there are ladies in the tent.
When there is no air circulation, you will greatly increase the chances of developing mold and mildew (the kind of M&M's that we RIU-ists don't like) and you deprive the plants of good continuous air exchange.
