How hot is too hot during flower?

[Username85]

So I’m about 3 weeks into flower, June 11th was exactly 1 month from the initial 12/12 flip, and I’m trying to think ahead for July and any crazy heat issues.
I’ve got a 3x3x6 tent, growing in soil, with 1 SF1000, and right now during lights off temps are around 76~78 RH 38~50, lights on 80~82° with an RH around the same as lights off.
Problem is my tent is in a room where it’s not possible to run an AC unit, I’ve got 3 fans set around the intake drawing as much extra air in as possible, and in a worst case I’ll just sit buckets of ice in front of those fans.
Ultimately I just need to know what kind of temps to avoid for mid-late flowering, sorry if this was a long winded post for a simple answer

Well. For starts. Let me add that fans only move air. So that ice method. If that's all you got. Run it. Because iv had tons of issues indoors too hot. You really want those temps under 90max.

Your going to want ac if you can. That seems warm is that inside a house?

76-82 is money imo if you can maintain it. Just read your planning ahead lol.

Yeah I’m thinking it’s at the proper range now, I’m trying to figure out in the event we get consistently high temps here come July. With my timeframe I figure it should be ready for chop towards the end of July.

You'll need more Light Power 4 Flower. I'd shoot for like 250 watts atleast

Ehat do they look like currently?

Yeah in a house. Kind of a tricky spot, at the back of my basement in a storage room, and only a sliding door access to the outside, so it seems an ac unit is almost impossible

Portable ac?

Yeah I know it doesn’t truly cool, just moves it around-one of my fans points from the main room into the tent room, outside room is probably 5~10° cooler than tent room, so a little help to start. I’m confident I can keep it under 90 if that’s the high end range to avoid-figure if I start to get consistent 95°+ weather I may have to pull out the ice

Looked into that, but apparently still has to be vented outside

Yeah I knew I was underpowered with just 1. I was running a cheap ass blurple light before this, so although probably not enough it’s a huge upgrade. Looking into getting another SF1000 for next grow

Any way to split it into an existing duct

 

[bam0813]

Y at the dryer vent?

 

[bam0813]

Actually doesnt it pull from outside

 

[Lordhooha]

You may be ready come end of July or fairly close.

 

[lusidghost]

If you live in a legal state or if it's hidden from the public view you could board up the sliding door and run a vent out.

I’m sure that’s possible, but that’s above my pay grade at the moment lol.

82 degrees is to hot? As long as your under 85 your solid. 82 is perfect!
