bascially in this situation what should i do?

run a 18-6 @ 84-88 degree enviroment

run a 24-0 in a 72-75 degree enviroment

Im stuck bc without running a supply of c02 they grow slow at those temps.

reason being is downstairs i cant get good darkness so i cant run a dark period. upstairs i can get the darkness but gets to hot.

any advice?

Could'nt you set up some kind of tent or curtains with black poly down stairs to create total darkness?
I'm a firm believer of 18/6 I believe that all living things should have a rest period, I doubt there's any where on earth that is 20 hs of light except north or south pole and we all know nothing grows there.

thanks guys. i have actually vegged my girls that are flowering right now on 24hrs. my cotton candy is a effn beast. almost 6 feet tall and i topped it. having said that i also have one that really didnt get tall and is was mostly sativa. vegged them for 5 weeks 24 hour. i always think if i did 18-6 they could be taller. i just dont know.

but ya im working on trying to make a total darkness system. iw as jusgt wondering what would be worst for the growing progress, high heat with darkness or a nice 72 deg enviroment with 24 hours.
