I've been having trouble keeping the temperature low.
I already opened the tent "door" and I also have a small fan aimed at the plants but it is not very effective.
do you know any way to lower the temperature inside the tent without spending a lot of money?
Do you have an exhaust fan pulling old air out of the tent and sucking new air in? On top of that do you have an air conditioner to bring the temps down in room your tent is in.
You could also upgrade to some high-end leds like quantum boards which only need half as many watts for the same yields meaning lower temps. Also leds dont put out nearly as much if any infrared light which basically equates to heat being beamed down on your plants.
Quantum boards dont cost all that much any more and a 120w would do just as well as your 250w hid.
Here is a very solid and cheap light:

Ok good! Now knowing that, are you venting out a window so the hot air isn't being pulled back into the tent? Like the other grower said 25.6C isn't too bad. Before I turned on my ac the other day I hit temps of 30C and my plants were okay with that for a couple of days while I was hoping the weather would cool down. A big sign of heat stress is the leaves cupping/tacoing.
Another temp solution if you are venting outside, is the use of an air conditioner to cool the room outside the grow space. the cooler the air the exhaust can pull into the tent, the cooler the whole tent will be.
Week 6 - Day 39 - I did suppercropping on two of my plants because they were already too close to the lamp.
Now I lowered the lamp so that it was 40 centimeters from the top of the plant.
I did supercropping for the first time because two of my plants are too close to the lamp. I posted some pictures so you can tell me if it's done correctly or not.
Yes that is just the way to do it!
Your plants grew lots of height probably 'cos your lamp distance was a bit too high. I suggest that you lower your lamp a little bit if you don't have any troubles with burning the plants
Before doing supercropping I was only 20 cm apart, after doing supercropping I have about 55 cm. Should I lower the height of the lamp to control the height of the plants? My lamp is a dual spectrum hps 250W from SunMaster.
Salut le jardinier ! tu peux largement. avec les hps tu enlevé le 0 et t'a la bonne distance donc 250 watts c'est 25 cm et si t'a un cool tube tu peux descendre a 15 cm voir 12.5cm . et en plus si tu rapproche ta lampe ça va éviter a ta plante de faire de longues tiges vers ton ampoule et elle va rester plus compacte. bonne chance a toi bella ciao
I would not defoliate at this point 'cos you can easily see through the plant and from my understanding its good to defoliate only when there is lots of leaves and ------you +really feel like the plant is not needing it. I've seen too many diaries with too much defo and you can clearly see how it affected the yields in the end. Even I did too much at some point in my first grow..
It's all up to you to decide but I feel like it would be better to leave them be for now 👌
This week I tied the branches closest to the light to the tent support to keep them away from the heat of the lamp. I noticed that some branches are getting dark and I also noticed some marks on the leaves (I posted photo)
i'm usually "lst" wind leaf under bud sites for some times, when windleaves after appear old, i cut it, so you've stressed plants with HST, wait a do something like that if you think is right
