Too hot at night time?

Since entering flowering stage 1 week ago I have found I needed a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier is inside the tent, it does its job for humidity control, but it is raising my night time temperature average to 78f degrees, with spikes up to 83f. I have it set to its lowest setting to avoid pumping out too much heat.

Is this too hot? I have an intake and 6" exhaust with 2 oscillating fans, everything is set to high speed for air movement.

I tried to dehumidifier my lung room right next to the tent, but it doesn't control humidity inside the tent.

Kinda of worried it might be getting to hot in there... lights on temp runs cooler since the lights cut the humidity out so the dehumidifier doesn't run much

That should be fine.

It likely will also serve to reduce the stretch of your plants, making them shorter/more compact. At least that’s what the research suggests (Higher night temp than day temp). Let us know, good luck.

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I kind of figured too. I set the thermometer on the humidifier so I I assume it's reading the hottest part of the air blowing out. The air blows straight to the carbon filter/exhaust system so I was thinking maybe is doesn't get so hot for the plants.

Here is some week 1 flower pics

Thanks for your reply. That's exactly what I need. Because my sherbrang the tallest one is 40 inches tall and still has 1 more week of stretching in an 80 inch tall tent with a light that needs 24 inches from the bulb.

Dr Bruce Bugbee says that his studies show that a warmer night is actually more beneficial because it makes the plant more compact
