Lighting adjustment for temperature
The_Dank_Reviewstarted grow question 5y ago
Tomorrow is going to be a very difficult day to control temperature in the tent. 35C and no aircon. How long can I get away with keeping the lights off? They are on a 20/4 schedule now that the bigger one is flowering. I may be able to dim it very low if It still isn’t too hot

Hey friend,
Technically you could drop it to 12 and then leave your tent open and then turn on the house lights for the remaining 6 hours. This will at least prevent them from being in complete darkness for 12 hours, they'll still be seeing some form of light and shouldn't get overly stressed as a result of the sudden and drastic light changes.
I know autos are a little more tolerant that photoperiods but still worth trying to keep some consistency. 👍

17° is that too low ?My question may sound a bit stupid, but a cold spell is hitting my little region, and I've never had temperatures like this before.
Inside the box it is 17° at night and 21° with the light on. Do you think it could affect the plants? Thank you for your answer!

Totally random question.Random question... When do you start day 1? Is it the day the seed germinates? The day the seed pops above ground? The day the girls have enough leaves for nutes and a regular environment? Just broadening my knowledge. Thanks, guys!Week 4
