Ok so I set my system up and my hygrometer temp where plants are at 91 no bueno I know but they are germinating yes with the light on. Someone told me that this was ok another thing fans what could help me bring this temp down to like 65 or 70. And I know this is not the traditional way of germinating but is this way kind of good because of the heat and the mositure and the humidty in the dome that I have. Reply help a brother out.

Need more info man.

What kinda lights and what wattage?
What kinda space are you growing these in?

And no, at 91 for seed germination its not really ok. Your seedlings will stretch like a mofo due to excessive heat.

Well those bitches are going to have to stretch not they will even have time to because I just germinated tonight and tomorrow night when I get my pay check I will be solving the heat issue. Only 250 watt mh for veg and hps for flower. General Hydroponics Flora Series for nutes. General Hdyroponics grow buckets 4 gallon. Added 4 inch air stone in each bucket and northern soul is my strain 80% indica 20% sativa. I know thats probally to hot lol but dont they make seed heat mats for new clones or germination. Help me out my dude.

If your in a grow tent, closet, or space you can cut some holes in you could always opt for a cooltube or air-cooled reflector. That will kill a good amount of heat in the area as long as you exhaust it out of the space and not right back into it. If you cant go that route at the moment try raising the light so its further from the plants. Newly sprouted seedlings dont need a 250 watt MH sitting a few inches away. Too much light, too small a plant.

Hope this helps, good luck n your grow!
