Greetings,
I have just started growing 1 plant in my small closet (3 by 3 ish by 5 feet long). I have a 250 watt MH about 13 inches away in soil.
The light is on 24 hours a day.
The plant looks pretty good.
My question is temperature, or rather, where do you take the temperature? Do you put a thermometer in the soil near the stem? Do you put it on the wall and if so, how far away from the light? I have one thermometer in the pot and it is about 95 (seems hot) and another leaning against the pot that is about 78.
None on any wall.
Is it ambient temperature we are speaking of or the temperature where the plant is?
How can I lower the temp?
Do I have too?
I also have an oscillating fan (portable swamp cooler) that swings across the plant. I tried using the swamp cooler part but it really didn't seem to drop the temp that much and I figure the added humidity might not be that good either.
Thanks for any input.
