I have had issues when my lights turn offing my Temps dropping 10 degrees and humidity jumping past 60. I got a heater so hour before my lights shut off it was good and I solved that issue. My tent is in my garage and we are hitting summer now. Its getting 80-90 outside and 60 at night. I run my led lights at night which they don't get hot at all. But my tent stays about 75 with lights on and 70 with lights off is that fine? Or should I run my lights on during the day let it get like 80 in my tent and lights off push about 70 at night? So basically lights on during day or night would be best?
 
Probably the way you have it is best. That way it avoids wide swings if you have a cool evening. In the 70s isn't ideal for led, but its fine, they'll grow!

Because my lights off during the day my humidity still getting up to 59 and I don't need that when I'm closer to harvent want to try and keep it below 5or 50 with lights off, lights on I have no issues getting it down to 35 but I keep my humidity between 45-60. But gradually want to work it down closer to harvest

Most municipalities give an energy discount for usage at night
As you say you approaching summer so your temperatures are not going to remain the same
I expect running in the day would make it too hot

So when my lights are off like right now my temp only dropped 5 degrees and went from a good 52-55 humidity to 61 why didn't stay the same? I turn my intake fan I have that I suck good from the house when my lights are off and it equals out. So when my lights are off should I just turn my intake fan on to balance it back out?

Like I said though my lights are just 2- 300-60 Mars Hydro LED I could sleep on them things.
 
Another reason I'm switching to Autos lights on I have zero issues I can handle lights off for 4 hlur doing 20/4 LMAO these photoperiods with 12/12 to much at times lol
 
You can run your intake at a higher speed during lights out to draw the extra moisture out. More heat in the air means more water that hangs in it. Some folks only need DEhumidifiers at night to keep moisture in check.
 
It doesn't get suffocating hot, I'm not down south in Florida our climate here is pretty good. It's half installated. So it stays a little less than what it is outside.

So if we have a 90 degree day my garage will stay around 85 and in my tent I have a few fans it could day around 80.

It sounds like you have the right idea with lights on at night, a day that hot with added leds over it would cook your canopy.

Sounds good yup I turned my intake fan on brought my temp from 64 to 7p and humidity from 61 to 56 which is where I need to be. I keep my exhaust fan hooked up to my 67 remote so it adjust itself. So will just have to run on intake to 3-4 to keep humidity down when lights off. Thanks fellas! On my sec9nd week of flower on this photo period should start seeing pistils soon.
