Plants dont know OR care what time it is. For them, it is daytime when the lights are on and night time when it is dark. So, it will be hotter when the lights are on(day) and cooler or nearly the same when the lights are off(night). I leave the A/C and fans running 24/7 so that keeps the temp cooler during the dark cycle.

Well excuse the fuck out of me. My, dont we have delusions of grandeur. Lets make it simpler. As long as the temp, day or night is not too hot for the plants to grow properly, it doesnt really make too much difference. If you dont know what the proper range of temperatures are for growing, read some threads instead of asking stupid questions. And stop acting like the prickless bastard in your avitar.

Sorry about my earlier post. I try not to be a total asshole but sometimes it slips out. I wish I could turn off the AC and stuff when the lights go out, but it just gets too damn hot here in the summer. I am hoping that the little window unit I have will handle the job this summer. I just added a 1000 watt HPS to the flower room. Good luck on your grow, and once again I am sorry for being such a jerk.
