Temps can go as high as 100 as long as you work out the ppm of your air to be around 1200 Co2..... perfectly maintained outside where I live. But doing this indoors is so difficult to do on a budget that I don't even try....
That's crazy temps inside, but from what I have been reading it can be done. There is some controversy about potency when growing in such high temps, but nothing was set in stone about it?
Yeah and the Budget, crazy man crazy. That is alot of money to put out, better have it right if one trys.

Yes, there are arguments regarding the benefits and drawbacks (for example, slowing hormonal growth in some areas etc.), but essentially, the thing is: keep good balance of all essential functions, and you will get a good balance of production, focusing on a couple certain things won't hurt so long as it doesn't encumber the plants ability to be productive in its other necessary and/or essential functions, or take away from the productivity of its other functions....

I am a simple soil grower who sets out to make all things optimal. That co2 is too much for me. I have seen beautiful grows form it, not first hand but you know.

Hey Bubloni

Are you planning in transplanting into bigger pots at some stage?
Is that the same size as you used last grow?

They look kinda small.

yea just a 10" neted bottom containers from hydro-shop, i think it should be good eh? i mean iv seen some big plants in some small ass pots so i actually was thinkin they were to big of ones, but yea either way thats there home for the next 2 1/2 months or so, also i dont know if i mentioned this but i bought a 60 - 100x magnifyer so i will be going by trichs for the most part, shooting for amber as a mutherfucka

I use 10" pots for the first 3 weeks and by then my plants are usually root bound. I'm in coco-coir though, so because your in soil the root development is probably a little slower.
Most of the time the size of the pot will determine the size of the plant and the speed in which it grows.
You stick to what's been working for you though mate.

Hmmm...picking indica at mofo amber? That should put you firmly on your ass! :mrgreen:

light sittin at about 20" away, i think its to far, but i dont really see much streaching so, canopy temp is at about 85F, and i dont think the temps are gettin any cooler the higher i raise the light so im pretty sure 15-20" is where i should try to stay(air cooled reflector 4"inlinefan)

8 inch inline, 6 inch out with some open airflow as well, that should bring you down to 80 or so. But at 85 now, you risk going back up to 100+ this summer! Your light is at a decent distance, you shouldn't need to move it. are you venting the hot air from the light out the window? If your just venting into the other outer room, its really not going anywhere....

yea for the moment i just got hot air from the dryer hose connected to my light just blowing right into the room, which was cool when it was cold but not so cold anymore, in a couple weeks to a month i am going to have to vent outside cause it will star getting hot as fuck, so when i do that i am gonna connect the reflector hose to the ventilation blower fan hose and just push all the hot air outside:blsmoke:, smell is my only problem there but i seen some DIY filters that r pretty cheap to make, just gonna laze out for now:joint:

alright here is my ghetto ventalation, so far it cost me $90 2 Stanley blower fans. $30 4"inline fan, and bout $30 in hose and i have more than i need..1st pic is exit point of all hot that i am gonna connect otgether and try to put out the window..
First: I can see an A/C vent in the second picture... you should hook up your incoming air to that, so any time your house/apts A/C comes on it blows that cold air directly into your growing environment. Right now you are exhausting all your hot air into the outer room which is forming a blanket of warm insulation for your growing tent.

Second: If you the blower fan right next to your light blowing the hot air through the ventilation and right out the window, it would be a lot more effective for removing the hot air, and would be replaced by air coming in via A/C intake ventilation (regardless of whether the A/C is on or not), I'll post some pics of what I'm talik about.......

having the light right next to the fan allows the hot air to be immediately and powerfully sucked away, it goes out the window the window A/C unit is in just above the A/C unit. the second pic shows the ventilation intake from the house A/C vent (15 minutes on reduces temperature in the 7x7x8 room by 5 degrees). The window A/C is on for about fifteen minutes an hour. I am going to move the fan so the ventilation doesn't have to bend so much to go out the window, because that reduces the effectiveness by about 15-25%. I am also going to put in a 4" circular fan to draw air in through the A/C ventilation making it more effective. My temps stay perfectly at whatever I set the house thermostat to.

I took those pics while deconstructing an old flowering tent, and reconstructing a new one.

alright that makes some sence to me(not to bright:eyesmoke:), so you have your house A/C vent ducted into the grow area, and your blower fan pulling air out, so there is always a vacume like effect sucking from ur houce A/C?and you have the window unit in the growroom for whenever the houce A/C isnt on? but how does the room your grow room is in cool off if that rooms a/c vent is going into the growroom?please try to help explain this to my simple ass cause i think you onto somehting big here...
