the only way i have is too put my leds , but im with fear of swaping stress ( week 4 flowering) because my leds are more potent in terms of ppfd , what woould u guys do ? change or go with hps and high tempsCan't you get the temps down? That is kind of warm I don't think it will affect potency but it will affect yield and could cause foxtails
Deffo. It’s all due to the roots and the ability to cool the plant down.Leaf temp of 27C is near perfect.
Yes high heat does burn terps and and will effect end product. Aroma first and foremost.
Outdoor plants are not inside ones. 40c outside producers lovely outdoor. 40C inside is trouble.
i meant the cannopy , but yesterday it reached 29C and i still have +-7 weeks and its only getting hotter each day , i need to change to the leds , hopefully i wont make my plants hermaphroditeDo you mean at the canopy or the ambient temperature?
I use the back of my hand for lamp height and a thermostat for ambient temperature 25/26c the last time I measured the canopy with a thermometer it was 30c at the warmest giving me a leaf temp of 25/28c over the area with no problems.
I hope it all goes well for you, idk for sure but I wouldn't expect them to hermie, is it any different to me changing from mh to hps after the stretch?i meant the cannopy , but yesterday it reached 29C and i still have +-7 weeks and its only getting hotter each day , i need to change to the leds , hopefully i wont make my plants hermaphrodite![]()
Leaf temp will normally be about 3 C less than ambient. So far you have nuthing to worry about heat wise.i meant the cannopy , but yesterday it reached 29C and i still have +-7 weeks and its only getting hotter each day , i need to change to the leds , hopefully i wont make my plants hermaphrodite![]()
you will have no issue changing to stronger lights just make sure they are the appropriate distance away. You may sacrifice some density switching away from hps. Get that heat down either way. Paramount. I can't say your bud WILL be total shit at 82 and 83 but the chance exists that it could be and it will definitely be worse quality all around at a higher temp. Is your ballast dimmable?the only way i have is too put my leds , but im with fear of swaping stress ( week 4 flowering) because my leds are more potent in terms of ppfd , what woould u guys do ? change or go with hps and high temps
I made the change yesterday to LEDS , but the temp is a bit on the low side for leds , i can only get 72,5F , hope is not bad for my crop :Syou will have no issue changing to stronger lights just make sure they are the appropriate distance away.

You are going to want 80-82 to be ideal for leds. As your leaf temp will be 77-78I made the change yesterday to LEDS , but the temp is a bit on the low side for leds , i can only get 72,5F , hope is not bad for my crop :S
Are you referring to led?Leaf temp will normally be about 3 C less than ambient. So far you have nuthing to worry about heat wise.

OP stated he is growing with HPS.Are you referring to led?
With hps your going to see leaf temps higher then ambient temperature
