So my temps in my 2x4 are staying between 68f-78f is this fine?
Seems like once i learn one thing theres another to learn .. i read that most leds dont include IR which is why u need 78-85f for leaf temps .. my led does include ir spectrum so would i be able to have lower temps in the tent? Like 68f-78f?

Im just tryna do a simple grow not have too worry bout to much n get all sciency lol with vpd , ir sprecturums etc.

Led light: Mf1500 led
Enviorment in tent:
68f-78f
Rh% 60-67
18/6

Probably dont need to be worrying all bout that unless i was at a bigger scale..
With a 2x4 tent is it necessary to be worring about stuff like that(vpd,par ratings and such) .. as long as the environment is at optimal temp and rh also air circulation should be just fine starting as begginers .. and running a good light . This what i want to hear lol
But im open to new ideas/advice , your never really done learning .

Leds need to run much warmer. My rooms generally 83 degrees during the day and 73 at night.

Wow... Dude, I hope you are not planning to grow all those babies in 2 x 4 tent, crazy! But seriously, just 2 plants in 5 gallon pots will fill up an entire 2 x 4 space!

With leds the plants are more vigorous in a warmer environment. All of my rooms run 80+

Surely.
But he mentions he's a beginner and as you know there's a lot to learn.
He may run into more issues as they grow, but those temps won't be one of them. They'll produce some nice buds.

Your temps are fine bro.
That’s a lot of plants for a 2x4 though. 3 max. 2 ideal. Or 1 monster.

Yeah im tryna veg em indoors and move the bagseeds outdoors for flowering, n keep the 2 feminized skywalkerogs indoors, thanks tho tht puta my mind at ease , dont wanna get all technical till i go bigger ..

So i should be good with temps as of rn its. Not going under 73f since i do have a space heater outside the tent in the room .

I run my 2x4 tent at around 75-80. Pick 2 or 3 of your best plants and put em in DWC. I have been doing 2 at a time of sativa dominant in my tent.

68-82F is fine, as long as the 68 is at lights off.
