Over 74 degrees loses 4 percent a day???

[ataxia]

so i was in my local hydro shop ... asking about lights .. about the temps, wattages, what sort of price i'd be looking at to buy an hps system.. the guy is always pretty helpful.. and a bit condescending. He began to tell me that for everyday your temps go over 74 F you end up losing about 4 percent of your yeild a day.. Now this doesn't seem far fetched. I was a bit shocked when he said it because i've always assumed that anything between 68 and 84 is optimal .. but when i said i never heard that .. he replied " well it's common knowledge".
Is this right

He's full of shit, sorry. Look at it logically - if that was true, the growers who have a higher temp permanantly, for their entire grow, would yield nothing.

 

[skinnyone]

full of shit trying to sell you something you dont need

so after 20 days you have negative weight? that sucks for me my tent is always 80 degrees on the money. so in a month i will have negative 20% yield, thats not good.

He was either trying to sell you some really expensive cooling machine or he doesn't know his stuff.

Cannabis won't likely begin to show signs of wear or decreased yeild until it's been cooked in temps above at least 90f for extended periods of time.

Cannabis indica hails from sunny Indian mountains and sativa from the warm equator. It is a very decently heat resistant plant.

however he may be meaning to say ....if your room is over a certain temp you can lose about 4% of potential yield OVERALL.

no ... i think he got his facts mixed up ... he wasn't trying to sell me on anything really and if he was he did a sucky job of it.. because i would not buy an overpriced light from their store... i'm sure the kid knows some of his shit .. i also think he's full of shit or maybe heroin. Haven't figured that one out. It does suck though ... the owner is VERY helpful, and patient with any questions someone has .. this kid must've been growing since his teens, knows some of his shit and gets irritated when he has to to his job for 2 hours of the day. everytime i walk in the place and the kid is working i usually don't buy anything. When the owner is there ... he'll sell me on something but at least do the service of giving me sound info and throwing a few freebies in since he knows that he's overpriced.

75 is an ideal temp, i dont know about the science behind 4 percent tho. try to keep your room around 75 as much as possible

do the owner a big favor and tell him , as a business man myself, sometimes you just cant see how a employee is running down your shop

i'd like to honestly ..... like i said the kid probably knows some of his shit .. maybe because i was asking about temps of different lamps he figured he'd throw that in there to sell. But the kid sucks. Everytime i visit when he (the kid) is working. the store is closed early or he has a "be back in 10 min" sign on the door. anytime a customer comes in he buries his head in a laptop. never has given me any information other than today
now i wouldn't want anyone fired from their job these days ... and from what i see it's just this kid and the owner who work there.
I only wish i had more knowledge under my belt to ask the guy if he needs any help in the store.
SPEAKING OF BUSINESS.. i overheard the owner talking to a friend and showing him how good his numbers for the winter were and how he anticipated this spring/summer to be MUCH BETTER .. seems like the only business around here thats doing good in my state are hydro shops. Fucking wild man.
this is in no way a mj friendly state.

that guy at the store better stick to being a sales man and not a grower.

lol .... i want to call up and ask him to restate what he said in the store just so i can give you word for word what he said. when i seemed taken back by what he said he seemed offended.

you should see the hydro stores in the mmj states. always busy, and their popping up EVERYWHERE.
