Temperature help please

[D1104]

I just wanted some information for the temperature of the plants. The strain is stardawg. I heard they can withstand high temperatures of up to 36-37 c i just wanted to verify because im having problems with temperature. I have 12 light on at 600 watts. Could i leave 6 lights on 400 watts and 6 lights on 600 watts to maintain temperature. Please help

Keep asking the same question

you need to fix the environment with cooling to run that many lights
Dialing back output sounds like you are trying to grow to many plants at once

So would it harm the grow if i leave half the light on 400 watts and the other half on 600?

Never tried it or knew anyone insistent on growing in a heat wave

98 degrees holy .. Good luck with that one ..

If i leave all the lights at 400 watts would i affect the flowering phase. Or do they need more watts when flowering

Can I ask how you are doing such a large grow with what appears to be little knowledge on growing?

 

[Syntax747]

what size space are you growing in?

 

[Herb & Suds]

As those plants grow your temps are going to go even higher
Why didn’t you use ventable hoods at the least ?
Are your ballasts located in the grow room ?

 

[Autodoctor]

I would be using a portable ac unit and duct the exhaust out. Cheap enough fix compared to what you already have invested

 

[Syntax747]

That is quite the grow .. idk, I guess maybe it could work, but like @Herb & Suds mentioned, your temps are going to rise as the plants get bigger.

You must have a couple bucks lying around, at least grab a portable ac to make your grow environment bearable

 

[Herb & Suds]

You can’t mount ballast in room with non vented hoods or A/C
This project is doomed even if you reduce everything to 400watts
Sorry but fact

Switch to led

 

[Herb & Suds]

I give up
Good grief

LED not Hps

Sounds like the old bait and hook

36-37c I've never heard of being acceptable temps, 26-29c is nearer the mark with suitable humidity, you need to take action asap!

I'd keep as many lights as my ventilation could handle and put x amount properly lit plants under them, or get better ventilation or an air conditioning unit.

Best of luck with it.

Thanks for the advice will do so

All your pics got deleted for some reason but I would try to do 4 plants under each light minimum. Unless youre doing months of LST to create alarge canopy, most of your light will be wasted and your room will just become an oven.

You need some sort of cooling AND ventilation. Its not optional. You dont want to spend the money to run all those lights and end up with little to show for it.
