I was buzzed when i started my flowering , so the light turns on at 12 midnight and off 12 noon . the thing is the temp is 70-78 when the light is on. but when the light turns off ,since its 12 noon the temp is 76-82 in till about 5pm than the temp is around 64-74 . what the worst thing that could happen? and can i slowly change the time to turn on at 5am and turn off 5pm.?..



thanks e5

thats not a bad temp range, a little warm but not too out of whack. is your exhaust fan on a timer or is it on constantly? if its on a timer you could set it to come on earlier and run later than the light to cool down the room.

how large is your grow space? if its more than a cabinet, you may consider putting an active intake fan in there to run for a few hours during your hottest period. you must be some where warm for you day time temps to be in that range. is it summer or winter where you are? i think its interesting that the highest temps are right at the beginning of the dark period but your over all temp range is totally normal. you could also put a couple frozen gallon jugs in front of the fan to cool it down a few degrees. be aware that they sweat an should be put in a tray or something.

SCCA,
i have 4x4x7 flower room and a 2x4 veg room. its winter where im at , but its the end of the world so every other week is summer than winter. that's a great ideal with the frozen jugs , i will most likely do that til i change my time .
Thanks e5

64 is a little low but not enough that you should worry much. If the difference between its hottest temps and coldest is only 14 degrees you should be fine.

I do remember reading some articles once talking about how one of the biggest factors in yields for tomato plants was having constant temperatures. But you're growing marijuana I presume, it shouldn't be as big of a deal
