Ya I have a fan blowing on the plant 24/7. The fan is directly at plant height about 4 feet to the side. I didn't want to go too hot. Ill lower the light today and see what that puts the temps at.

When I opened the closet this morning it was 86 roughly at the plant base. Too hot for me. I may have to switch my light cycle to operate at night. Will lowering the lights another 4 inches bring the heat up too much? With the outside window open, I have the temp at 76 right now but am nervous about putting the lights any closer.

you may have to look into exhaust of your grow room. i would say if you could keep it 80 or lower would be better.
when i ran pc fans as an exhaust i had to run my lights at night. i upgraded to a panasonic whisperline 6 inch to combat my temps.
went cheap route and made it work til i made a bit of return on some green.

This is what I adjusted it too. Pulled my strings a little tighter on the lstd spots, put the fan closer and lowered the light fixture. The light fixture seems to help guide the air from the fan to the plant better so that's helping. Right before I had to leave for work it was constant at 75 at the plant base. Thanks for all the help hiitsbob.

no problem. if your gonna do it no point having failure or tough times when not needed.
you seem very willing to learn that is a very positive thing you are on your way to good things.
like i sad keep reading on stuff you think you will encounter in the near future and prepare for these things.
the plant looks very healthy and happy keep that up and it will reward you.

Well I had a setback.. Got too medicated last night and forgot to close the window. Lowest temp was 46 and I caught it there when I woke up. I've read that that's not the threshold for too cold (27?) so I'm still optimistic. Other than that, the plant seems to be taking well to the lst

Thanks a lot man that makes me feel better. I feel like I left my kid at the grocery store haha. Here's how she looks today. A little droopy still but new growth is still coming in.

I was also wondering.. Should I do something about the dried nutrients on the lower leaves?

Clean leaves=better light absorption

Thanks. Didn't know if I should prune them out or clean them, or leave it (no pun lol)

All my leaves were upright until it got all cold in there. They're slowly climbing back up tho. I've been watering for 15 minutes every 2 hours since I got it and it seems to love it
