If I only use the 2 1000WLED (110W) giixers. And stop using my 3 50W CFLs. Is growth going to slow significantly? (I'm trying to reduce the heat in there with what I have available.. broke atm) I'm wanting to just run both LEDs and stop using the CFLs until the heat of summer is over with. When I run all 3 CFL and both LED my temps hit 87⁰ during the hottest part of the day. My lighting is 24/0.

I like using all 3 cfl and both led and my plant has absolutely nothing wrong with it growing like crazy.

I'm just an over thinker. Thinking this 87⁰ will stress her out. :(

Here she is with the lights. I have an intake blowing cold fresh humidified air in. I have en exhaust fan. And a fan on my plant. I water every 1-2 days. Watering is fine obviously look at her

She has been topped once and minor defo.

I really wanna keep running these lights like this. I'm just scared the 87⁰ is too much.

Maybe I could run all lights at night when its cooler, and during the day just keep the LEDs on?

Please give me your feedback.

I literally dont understand how to read that. I thought I did but when you say I have room to wiggle still now I'm confused...

Horizontal: look at the 88 degree line, You’re good to 65% humidity.

Now vertical: 40% humidity is good to a temp as low as 68 degrees and up to (?).
At low humidities, high temps are quite tolerable.

What is considered late veg? Is that the few weeks leading up to after flip? I'm assuming early veg is anything where you are expecting vigorous growth.

Going by the vpd chart, you have headroom in both humidity and temp.

You've misread the chart you posted. If the OP is trying to follow VPD (easier said than done in some situations), .6-1.0 kPa would be a better range to aim for with their vegging plant.

Why all the humidity stress?
I would worry more about high temps... 87 is pretty hot but not intolerable for them in veg; over 90 for any length of time is bad for bud development. Makes them “fluffy” in my exp.
I have 5 clones bigger than this currently vegging under a single Giixer “1000w” led looks like same one. Two of these will probably be good for one or two small to midsize plants; cannot vouch for flower/bud size. I say ditch the cfls. They are pulling way more juice than they give back to your plants.

Okay so I can use the 2 giixer just fine? I have one clone I'm ab to plant. And then my 3w old gal.
I would love to keep my temps around 81⁰ and only use my LEDs

But I've been too scared because using only my LEDs would mean I'm only using 220W total.

But if they're strong enough, I would like to use them solo for a bit in veg. And then when both plants are bigger, start using the CFLs again.
