What sort of temps you got with that 1k yorkie? plants look like they are trying to hide their fan leaves a bit. Reach for the sky is good, but there's a point when the plant is actually shading itself.

Cool, a growing debate on the UK thread, lol. They do indeed look happy, but I am still interested to hear about the temps. The fan leaves look insanely tight into the plant.

Well the 1000w is made up from a 600w cooltube and a 400w regular dutch barn reflector.
I don't have both running all the time, I have the 600w tube standard and then give the 400w a flick on days when I can get away with the temps and humidity.

With the 600w cooltube I get 20-25c and 35-40% RH, now I have an oscillating fan in there with the 1000w I'm getting 27-30c and 28-35 RH (ish). If the temp tries to go above 30c now with the fan I just flick the 400w off for a bit, the tent is behind a curtain covering the open window.

I've had the temps as high as 35c for short periods though without that closed leaf effect, it's only done that since today to be honest.
It got a good watering last night after going 4 days without, I reckon that has something to do with it.

Ah, I gotcha. 27-30 is managable I guess, that's what I have pretty much the whole summer. Is it a 400mh you got? the mh's sure do heat up.

They're both running HPS but I do have a MH bulb for veg.

I thought about having the lights on during the night with flowering through winter and then I'd be golden to run the 1000w right through but I had intended to run this lot a little warmer and drier from the start, get a little more thickness and density to the trichs.
