Yup. He's measuring surface temperature instead of ambient temperature, which is more important. When growing outdoor, I use natural shade from nearby trees, instead of shade clothes. And instead of using mulch.. I get big bails of hay, and spread a good layer around the ground, if Im growing in beds.
If you posted this because I said I keep my room at 85, then there's a different between indoor and outdoor. Outdoor you cant control your Co2 levels. If you could, then that 85 degrees wouldnt bad at all, since the plant is being supplied with Co2, and can therefor perform better and faster. Without Co2, then yes... you'll be slowing growth. Also... Im in hydroponics. I want the plant to pull up extra water and nutrients to keep itself cool. The harder I make them work, the bigger they get. You also cant control the humidity outside. 85 degrees and 25% or lower humidity... then of course the plants are going to slow at 85 degrees. But with 85 degree temps about 65% humidity, and Co2 levels over 1000ppm and the plants are in heaven and grow ridiculously fast. I would never sacrifice that for anything else.
If you dont agree with my temps, then thats cool. But I havent watched a Jorge Cervantez video in probably a good 5 years. After you've been growing for a while, so you start to tweak stuff to see how it works, and some times you accidentally stumble upon things, and find out that they actually work as well.
Like I told someone else the other day... If you follow the basic's, like what Jorge Cervantez teaches, then youll run a nice growroom, like a good running Honda Civic. Once you start to learn how to tweak your room to really push the shit out of your plants, then youll step it up to something more like a Ferrari. Small tricks like adjusting temperature and humidity according to what points the plants at in flowering. Adjusting light height. Changing light spectrum. Giving them plants the proper nutrients, when they need them, and removing the ones that arent needed, based on where the plant is in its cycle.
I can go on... but Im hungry, and need to go eat.
