Ambient Temperatures
Ambient temperature is the temperature your growing space sits at. It's affected by external factors like the temperature outside, as well as internal factors like the heat (or lack of) coming from your
grow light.
Temperatures inside of your garden play a big role in how well your plants breathe and absorb nutrients. The ambient temperature of your grow room plays a huge factor into the humidity level in it, which will affect how much your plants will sweat, absorb nutrients, and ultimately grow.
Excessive heat will make your plants breathe and lose water quickly, while
excessively low temperatures will slow down the absorption of nutrients, stunt growth, and can lead to moisture build-up (and all the problems that come with it).
Photosynthesis in plants can only be achieved at certain temperatures, so even if the humidity of your growing space allows your plants to breathe properly, a bad temperature may not allow for your plants to convert nutrients into usable energy for your plant to grow. Your plants are constantly trying to grow, and when temperatures are off it makes it difficult for the plant to do so. No matter if your plants like it tropical or cool and dry, knowing the ambient temperature of your growing space is important in making sure your plants are getting what they need to convert nutrients into usable food. That includes making sure the temp in your room isn't affecting the temperature of your water or medium temperatures. Common grow room temperatures include (but are not limited to):
- Clones/Seedlings: 72-82°F
- Vegging Stage: 68-78°F
- Flowering Stage: 68-77°F
- Temperature Drop: 10-15°
Idea of what might be happening inside a stuffy tent with no air flow in or out. My money is air exchange and perhaps excess light, before you weren't getting stuff reflected back the way it does in the tent, also harder on your eyes. You wear glasses when you are inside the tent?
