They are on 18/6 at the minute they go off 12 tonight then back on 6 in the morning, Ahhh i see it's only from screw fix ill have to look at getting one with a probe for a better reading ill put the 2 in at the same time and the glass is loose on mine also!! It was £15 notes aswell robbing fekkkerss

Couple off updates off pics I took earlier on they are well in there way now, Can’t wait until they get taller all have been topped on Tuesday and responded well to it, I have a feeling I’ll have 2 bushier plants with the widows and 2 taller plants with the cheese with it been a sativa. Like a said a can’t wait haha!!

I school many on how to attain the correct reading from their meters.
I see its on top of the pots in the light, if it is still its the totally wrong place and humidity will drop as temps rise from radiant light radiation.
We are trying to omit all light radiation from reaching our probe so what were left with is the ambient air temps.
Your readings and pictures suggest this is exactly whats happening.
My advice is to place thermometer and humidity meter outside the tent and assume ventilation more than keeps your tent at those levels.
Heat is easy you just have to learn its principles - conduction convection radiation.
Ask the met office how they read air temperature and they will say in a stephenson screen, google that for the science.
Im uk and use plenty of heating and very little extraction under hps in a tent, it will work super easy

To be honest buddy I would rather have it in the tent just so I know what the temps are around about no disrespect to your opinion, They are sitting nice and low now for the last 3 days they have been inbetween 25-28, Plus it's been very windy where I am and I have my inline fan right next to my window (its mounted to a wall where my window is) Sucking all the fresh lovely air in you can probably see the ducting off it in the middle off one off my pics.
It's a strange one the temps and how you have to try and control them I'm going to buy another one and place it in the middle off the tent higher up when they get a bit bigger and in flower.

Nice little plant you have,
Bit off advice needed here I'm growing in a 1x2 1x2 200..How tall shall I let them get before I flip to 12/12, it's my second ever grow and I don't want to mess it up with growing them to big then flipping and the height been a problem..By looking at them in the pics how long in veg would you say they are? People have told me to veg for 5-6 weeks, My guess is they are 2 weeks in veg so grow for another 4 weeks say? I'm also growing in coco and im running the full canna range mixing up in a 10L bucket, All plants have been topped once and I'm growing in Rhizo pots.
Advice and opinions appreciated dude.

Its not an opinion its simple fact/physics.
Yours is an opinion, we get a lot of that here.
Simply put - light radiation is not what you want to read if you ever hope to read air temps.
I hope you work it out one day, most light are very inefficient heaters of air, your opinion makes like i can heat my room on a few hundred watts of par - if this were the case your heating bills from yourcother half would be a fraction of what they are.
Heaters work on conduction/convection not much radiation.
Anyway enough of da science back to the b.science
