What if the steady temp in the room is 80F? I know people say a 10 degree change is good but what if it stays the same temp? This is during flowering cycle.......
Thanks in advance :smokin:

good question........:S5::S5:
In a perfect world there would be a difference between night and day temps; however, I believe you'll be fine.
You will have less stretch than you would have had you grown the plants with a 10-15'F temp difference. This is used in commercial greenhouses as a technique to keep plants short and bushy.
Thanks for the responses, I heard somewhere else that it will make the buds airy? Any truth to that?
I have not yet heard that one. Airy buds are usually from:
-Sativa genetics
-Insufficient light
-Hot temperatures
Well stinky that is my point, is 82 or so to hot? and will it cause airy buds.......:wtf:
i dont think 82 is hot enough to make them 'airy'.........they prob wont be as dense as say 75 degrees but really, who would notice?.......if you have a constant flow of new air to your girls, 82 should be alright. i wouldnt go about 85 though.:twocents:
well what if 85 and 90 is all i can manage due to hot climate changes and insufficient exhaust...? i know i need better exhaust but this is all i can affford now, starting new plant from seed in this climate... so its not a dramatic change... any tips on this????
If you can't get temps below 85-90, don't worry about bud density... worry about plant health. If you get any bud at all you're already ahead of the game.
Keeping day/night temperatures the same can help reduce internode distance on growing plants but it will also cause chlorosis when done for to long. Plants will resume normal colour and growth once day/night temperatures have at least 10 degrees of fluctuation.
so THAT'S what happened...Quote:

in the summer, my big cabinet stays around 90 degrees, 24/7, even with all the fans and ventilation running :wtf: ... so what ? the spoiled little bitches are pampered, if I stuck them outside, they'd be 105 degrees :D ... I can't afford to run my A/C for myself, let alone the plants ... seriously though, optimum growth is seen in the 70's, but it takes a LOT of abuse to kill a WEED ... try to keep your temps down, but don't make yourself sick, stressing over it ... :jointsmile:
Yeah, good comment. Sometimes we get focused on a particular issue and wind up with blinders on. Your right, they can be tough suckers.
