I used to keep my grow at 78, with no c02. I was getting 12-15 zips. I added c02 and let temp temps climb to 85, and now get 22 zips. It may work for you (vegging till their 3 feet is helping you) but I've seen positive results with 85. But that has nothing to do with my question. Thanks for the info about not using an exhaust

yea your thead got a little highjacked but anyway your welcome i hope it helps you. have you tried adding co2 when the temps were at 78? co2 is a huge help that why you got more not because its warmer. i have tried both. 75 with co2 gives me more than 85 with co2. yea it could be because the breeds i grow like it that way. when you do exsperiments you should only change 1 thing at a time not 2 and have a contol to compair to

Your not mentally capable of making me put my foot in my mouth...fyi, I put my ladies straight into flower from clone, my grow style is called " Sea of Green", you clearly have no experience with it, I grow nothing but colas. I will outgrow you without try'n...I have 2 journals in my sig ..... Keep looking. All I'm say'n is, you flat out lied. You are not getting 4 pounds of weed from 2 lights w/o co2 , with only 7 plants, I suppose it's possible, but YOUR not getting that.....POST PICS AND MAKE ME A BELIEVER. ....and higher temps DO help co2...quit quote'n books as if you've had the personal experience yourself. You just said you don't use co2 ...You can lie to your friends all you'd like, you can't lie to me, don't give advice if you don't have the experience yourself. I can grow big plants my guy, I perfer not to, it takes up too much space.
When growing trees ...if your not growing with your bulbs positioned vertically or on a light mover...your not getting the full potential of your lights (i.e. yield). When your bulbs are positioned horziontally, and stationary, your best yields per/light will be from 1/2 plants!
( THAT'S WITH EXPERIENCE TALKING! ) I grow dank that growers theirselves buy. 
When you make claims on RIU without pics, say'n you get that much per light w/o co2, don't get pissed when your scrutinized.

I've never tried the c02 AND lower temps. I'll have to give it a try on the 2nd grow in the new space. My concern is that the a/c would run consistently and c02 would never be introduced (due to the brain never shutting the a/c off and turning on the c02. After the first grow, it will be winter, so it should be easier to get the space cooler easier. and i'll have something to compare too. I'm always testing something with each grow (and yes I know to only test one thing at a time when actually testing it out). This time I'll just make it the temp.

if i got the results you seem so proud after all the work you have done building your setup i would quit. really dude your ego is getting in your way. when i harvest i will send you pics . most everything has bee trimmed and is curring so i cant embarrass you yet. remember you started a personal attack on me for no reason because you think im wrong, i will finish this. all i'm trying to do is return the help i got from this site to people looking for advise not to bash people or their grows. so many people here dont relize they are venting out there home while trying to cool a grow tent which runs up there electric bill by taxing theit centrel air. everything i have ever stated here i learned from hear or 420mag. if tried it all till i found what works best for me. do yourself a favor and stop posting pics until you find out why the are all so small. you have both feet in your mouth

dude i get @1/2lb per plant. i dont flower till they are 3-3.5ft tall. i lollypop them and i top them 2 weeks before i flower. the are in a room 6x7x8 with 2x1000hps and 1 x400hps on the door to hit the front of plants and there are 200watts of t5 on walls to hit the sides. plants are 5-6ft tall when done. i use 2 ocsilating fans to thicken my stems so the wont fall over. my room is at a constant 75 degrees 6-8 inches from the 1000watters. i grow white widow which is a bushy plant that grow dozons of colas per plant. why is it so hard to believe, so many guys here do better than that. your just an angry guy. the bud displayed in my advitar is 60 grams dried. there are 4-6 colas like that one per plant plus there are scartted bud.

hey visine, thanks for open mind. my ac unit shuts its self off when the lights go out and turns back on after the lights come back on due to the heat from lights. its set all the way down to 64 degrees so when lights go off the grow temp is about 65. this does 2 things for me, 1st it chills the resivoir. 2nd it chills the walls and planters which helps keep temps down when the lights do come back on. my unit runs the whole time when the lights are on in order to keep up. i use a duel hose unit so it recycles the air. my room is air tight so when i do use co2 it does not get vented out. having the ac running constantly drops the humity to 40-50 %. good luck and let me know how it works for you

lol....this thread got crrrazy hijacked!!!!!!
You two people arguing both have valid points...for your type of grow and strain. Some strains react to higher heat positively, while others do not. I use to grow large (gone mini now) and had some burmese strain that LOVED 85, I ditched that strain and went to a northern lights strain which HATED 85 and loved as low as 70. Everyones grow is different, and you both have very good things to say. So why come here to beak off at eachother??? I figured this was a community based forum where we are all trying to help and show our stuff....not call each other liars and idiots!!!!!
Anymore arguing...and I am posting a picture of my hairy testicles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol..not really.... but come on guys.....lets puff a fatty, relax..and be nice.

...day 46 of flowering and I'll be damn....foot long buds!
Where's your 4 pounds of bud with your 2 lights and no co2 ???
Your the guy who started to criticize and give outlandish claims. Do you not remember >>>
...the thing is, the best indoor growers in the world are only getting 2 lb per 1000 watt HPS. After hearing your claims, and reading your type, your not even close.
By the looks of your cheesy avatar, and reading your bad punctuation I kind'a feel like I'm debate'n with an immature adult...so, I'll let you get the last words, I can tell how much you enjoy that.

i was not being sarcastic i meant that was great. then i asked if you tried it with lower temps. you miss understood me or i need to be clearer when i type. im sorry for bad punc, im sitting home after getting shots of cortisone and asorted pain killers directly into my back and it hard to consitrate. you also might be a little senitive. i did not mean that as a diss. i just think stating something is the best without trying the other ways can be a little closed minded. sorry if you took it the wrong way.View attachment 1088667View attachment 1088665View attachment 1088663View attachment 1088662View attachment 1088661View attachment 1088660View attachment 1088658View attachment 1088659View attachment 1088657
