temps in 80s pH in 7 range

Day time temps 82 - 88
Night low 70s

Soil pH 7
Water phed with organic up n down to 5

What's my question?
What do you think of this? Will it slow growth?
Is it higher pH on veg lower on bloom or the other way around. (It exists)

I have fans going. Everything else should be good. in my experience everything should be ok but I am experiencing slow growth not uniform but I have different strains the oldest plant are from old mistreated seeds the newest plants are 3sd 3pr should be growing the same as their sisters but 1 is 2 -3 inches taller 1 is burned. It could be my soil mix but I mixed it good with nothing fancy. Haven't feed the new clones or over fed anything. The clones guy said they would start growing in about 2 weeks so tomorrow. Everything looks good except the burned one. Clones are under 2 28w 4ft t5s medium blueish 3 CFLs blueish 1 CFL reddish

Hi how are you today? I don't think it will slow anything down, my rooms stay 81 all day and 76 at night, and my grls and boy do great with it. I don't ph so I cant tell ya about that part, seems like you have a good handle on what to do though, thanks for sharing. MD

I'm good thanks. Not stressing at all, just in that phase in the beginning of my gardening where it feels like it's growing slowly. Plus just spent 4 months getting 4 plants to where they should be 2 months in so nervous. How are you? You got a grow journal?

I run my rooms at 80 degrees all day , no problems there. But at 88 degrees the growth all but stops, If your under pure cfl lighting and those temps then you have no air flowing , You need to get some ventilation going and drop the temps to the low 80s .It could be the clones arent from a fast starting plant, I have had bubblegum plants that took weeks to take off before , maybe this is your issue?

I am very well, thank you for asking. I did just start a journal but have not put the link in my signature yet, and I have a thread that is in my signature with a lot of grows so far. MD

One strain is a bubble gum I crossed w a lemon Kush it grew huge outdoors. The bbgum mom did grow at a pace that increased as the week's went on. I am at 84 to 86 alot and didn't know temps of 88 would halt growth. I won't add co2 and will wait till ac season when it's easier to buy. But I may turn down my bloom hid lamp. Should be cool for 5 months in a week or 2.
Thanks budjet

If you add co2 the temps would be fine . under co2 the plants like the higher temps

what i run my soil at all the time is 7-8 ph temps are fine atm i have mine sitting at 24c round 18-17 c at night and they are pumping

only thing that will slow them down is the cfl

I wouldn't worry about 82-88 degrees. some strains love the heat especially cheese and lemon strains. I once grew original cheese 89 through the summer time and my tent was reaching 100-103 degrees through flower I thought they was gonna die on me. turned out to be the best smoke I did in that year . i would not recommend growing in those conditions I'm just sharing an experience that I had 3 years ago. do a google search on the strain your growing you might find out the heat tolerance that your plant can handle. good luck with it

Thanks Dude, Good timing. Was thinking of popping a bubblegum, or 1 of 3 no name appeal autos. Was leaning towards the gum. Think I'll check the specs. on the autos again.

I have never even thought of growing a plant over 7. What benefits do you see? What neutz, if any? What ph feedings?

I disagree with all of this, except the not recommending it part. I have never seen a plant like hot conditions +83 degrees unless your using co2, Then it is common place to let temps climb to upwards of 95+ degrees. Will one grow in those conditions? Yeah albeit very slowly, Your trying to give your plants the optimum conditions to give you the highest yields and qualities. 85+ degrees is not optimum IMO

Disagree all you want, I wasn't saying the conditions where perfect. I was just saying don't stress to much if temps go above 83 that's all. will one grow in those conditions? got the proof right here to prove you wrong, plus i don't use co2 either. heres a picture from my last grow in the summer with temps hitting 92-93 last 4 weeks of flower. i only use a 250w but i always pull between 4-5 ounces dry from only 2 plants so I'm doing something right

Yeah. Good fucking replys. I think pH 7 is ok cause I grew in it b4; think I had to keep adding micros and used more nutes then now but 7 shouldn't be the problem. The heat may not be what's doing it either though for some reason I think it's an issue. 1 of my 7 clones is doing great 1 is starting late cause I cloned her at 90f and with out much practice. She's definitely growing now. Then 4 look like healthy cuttings; not doing anything much 1 is doing poorly.. but it's to early to tell.. of the ones I started few months ago 3 where the olnly seeds that grew from 50 old over heated seeds stored in a social garage for 5 years. They are 2 months behind a girl cookies clone that is growing normally but on the slow side. The bubble gum and lemon and lemon bubba and lemon bubble gum have all been proven to produce within a normal though not short amount of time. So it's the garage time. And nothing here is fast. And I am getting impatient. And things may go faster if more optimum conditions are reached. Thanks for the replys, all helpful. I would like to post a journal on here when I figure out how. Gonna bloom after this week's heat wave.

Mate your ph at 5. is too little get it up to 6.8ish for soil. That's probably why you're way behind. ! Good luck n happy growing

What?
Idu you mean make my pH a 5? Water?
What?

I already said I do lol, I'm not trying to argue with you about it , Even at 4-5 oz's It's still only about 50% efficient. Had your temps been in the proper range you may very well had pulled 6-7 ounces off of it .
I'm not trying to knock his or your grows, I'm trying to help other growers out so they can pull the best harvests they can out of there plants. Your taking risks growing, so why not do everything you can for the plants to make it more worth it? To the OP, You need to get your temps down , you have to get some ventilation into the grow , plants use up all co2 in an enclosed area very quickly and will stagnate if left in those conditions and it is something that lots of growers over look as not totally necessary , Even an inline ducting fan from ebay would work great, try to find one that will exchange the entire cubic footage of the space in less then a minute. Get a soil ph test kit, PH litmus strips would be perfect for soil.
https://www.amazon.com/Packs-Paper-Litmus-Strips-Tester/dp/B008IBOG7G. Your soil ph needs to be between 6.8 and 7.3 for all the nutrients to be available to your plants. Overlooking one thing during a grow can be the difference between 1 ounce and 5 ounces . Trust me , I learned this the hard way . Best of luck to you BB

running a ph of 7-8 seems to keep them greener and larger in soil coco perlite a whole diff story but i have been working in hydro farms and store for about 9 years now so you would hope i would of picked something up

in the end mate all the little tweaks like ppms ph resinators and the nutes all it comes down to is reading the plant you can judge and tell what the plant needs by the way it looks and smells
