I think my daytime numbers are gonna be changing… these lights with the increase in output has an increase in heat…

That's the added bonus I had at night.
The little extra heat was helpful.
If it gets above 100 like last Saturday I may turn it down 20%.
Hopefully you can control the heat.

@Bill284 In you opinion what would be too warm ?

You seem to have your vpd dialed in.
I think I ran I.25 to 1.3 at 80ish f or 27ish c.. if memory serves me correctly.
All my notebooks got lost after the fire.
For tight bud formation I didn't like going over 27c.
You can run higher with co2.
But just controlling temp made by nugs great.

With these new readings i boosted both fans by one increment and may put the new settings in a cycle to prevent over heating during the day.

I just checked my meter and im pushing 580watts…..

Here is a solid read on the temp and humidity with the new lite ON, and the fan speed increased to 9/5 Seems livable

Vpd is a touch high.
Your humidity has to be in sink with temps for proper transpiration.
But if it's working keep on rocken.:thumb:

With lites off its easy, with lites “on” the humidity goes down quite a bit and the temp is now higher……

I understand.
I ran a negative pressure tent to compensate, 4x8.
8" discharge 6" pushing in.
Took a while but once I nailed it my buds turned purple and were rocks.
Close is pretty good, perfect is hard.

How do you like your new light? I’m trying to save some $$$ for a new one but prolly be @Mars Hydro FC-3000 that’s a little closer to my price range.

I like the build quality, it just fits in a 4x4, but it fits :0)
Time will tell, if the plants reacts well or not. There is a complete review on utube and the guy tryed his damndest to find a weak link in it, but in the end it was just a great product with a great price tag.

I love this hobby, its way more than growing weed, and its all about growing weed !!!!
 
I watered the girls, im experimenting with my humidifier for “daytime” humidity, or better yet, lack of daytime humidity due to the new lites and heat ect, im not a VPD maniac , but im trying to at least stay close by to the averages.

If i can get my humidity up to 45% @ 80° then im at least middle of the road, always futzing around. Im already seeing that added humidity raises the temp also Ha! Not what i intended

We do the best we can with what we have.
You are doing great :thumb:
But striving for perfect is always our goal.
Just don't loose your mind trying to fine tune it.
I had a harvest every 4 weeks so it was more important for consistency and quality.
You are so close you won't see a major difference.
Have a great day my friend.
