It is currently summer and tempratures in the tent can reach 90f at most usually sits between 83-88. Is it worth even attempting to grow in these conditions or to just wait thr summer out. Also if i switch the normal reflectors with air cooled hoods how much of a difference will that make in temprature? Thanks in advance for any replies this is my first post.

If you were to switch to LED, your temps would reduce and even of they didn't, those temps are perfect for LED.

I was not aware that you could have higher temperatures whilst running LED? I have thought about switching i just don’t have the money right now as a good LED light costs a lot but definitely something i consider in the future.

My temps are rising too with the summer heat, yesterday I saw 29-30°C in the tent but it usually doesn't get that bad. I use LED.

I do prefer October - May but everything is OK so far.

What LED lights do you use? Im interested but i dont know what will replace a 600w HID and how much cooler is it compared to a HID?

I'm using an HLG 260XL right now. I had another 190 watts in a separate tent running as well but that is done now. I have central air.

Alot can depend on the room you are in. If it's an interior, well insulated room you may see less temp swings and it may be easier to cool.
