Hey everyone, so I recently flipped my plants to 12/12 (3 days ago) and I’ve been experiencing some pretty high night time temps(lights go out at 8:30am-8:30pm) I know I need to keep the temps in the upper 70s during the day and lower 70s/60s at night but it just doesn’t seem possible right now with the current weather in Chicago.
I vegged for 8 1/2 weeks and was really trying to get through as much of August before the flip, but a power outage from a storm kind of forced me to flip my plants…
I’m running my lights during the night time so that I can raise the light output to really see what my 640WATT timber grow lights are made of. I thought by having lights go at at 8:30am I would be able to control the bedroom with just my air conditioner but my old brick and mortar has been taking a beating this summer(need a much stronger ac, currently have 5,000btus) and I’m just getting worried since I am in flower now.
Does anyone know if an environment like this is going to be a huge problem as I progress through flowering? This my first grow ever so I’m learning as I go, but In veg it was a little easier to get by And from what I’ve read, the flowering stage is very sensitive when it comes to environment…
Here’s some photos…
I’m able to control humidity for the most part under 50% but it does spike up for a few minutes when my dehumidifiers automatic pump turns on to empty the bucket. Also speaking of this dehumidifier, I feel like a lot of the heat building up in my grow room has soemthing to do with this because it does blow out fairly warm air, as it’s suppose to I know, but jthat doesn’t help my battle with temps much.
