Boost buddy
halexxostarted grow question 3y ago
Now with the rising temperatures, I'm reaching 31-34°C in the indoor. I use Boost Buddy, a CO2 generator through the decomposition of bacteria. Is that enough, or should I modify the indoor in some way to avoid reaching those temperatures? Thanks

i doubt that's hitting 1200-1300ppm co2 and even if it did you are better off with cooler temps.
raising humidity to reduce VPD is another option, but could increase risk of microbial growth. 65-75% for 31-34C would still be a bit high VPD, but would help mitigate the extra light. Fairly decent VPD for flower, acually.

As others have said, I would lower the temperature. Ventilation is usually the easiest but you can also air condition.
Do not rely on your Boost Buddy to help unless you have several of them operating. It simply cannot provide CO2 in the quantity needed. Unfortunately running a vent fan to lower the temperature will blow all of your generated CO2 out of the tent.

Try to lower down the temperature to 30 degrees max like stated below by our fellow grower. The easiest way to lower down temperatures is to turn the lamp off by day and turn the lamp on at night when temperatures are a bit cooler.

I'd highly recommend you try your best to get that under 30. Bigger extractor fan would be the best option but most costly also.

Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants?

qu'elle est le plus important à prendre en compte le nombre de lux ou le PPFD/DLIlux, ppfd, and dli. While doing this, I realized that it’s hard to have a ppfd between 500 and 1000 for the seedling phase without exceeding the famous 7000 lux. We’re more like approaching 25000 lux if we want to reach the desired ppfd for this phase. How do you do it?Setup. Lighting
