suitable temps ?

[darbolah]

Iv got a few little seedlings in a growtent on my deck and the temps sometimes get upto 90F when the aircon is on inside as the exhause is on the deck also. Is this going to be to hot or will it pass ?

You really want to shoot to keep temperatures under 80F, if possible.

The ideal dark temp should be no more than 65 F or 18.3 C and 75F or 23.9C Kept within 10F.....at 90F OR 32.2C growth slows and halts at 95F OR 35C

very helpful thanks, if i took the tent inside where it is much colder would i notice a difference in growth. Is it possible the heat would have damaged the seedlings in any way ?

Well if it hasn't killed them then they should be fine. Yes you should notice some growth. Make sure there is a fan on for them not only to to make the stems strong, but to fight molds and to keep a fresh amount of natural Co2 flowing in...

Hey good luck with those babies!

Try to get it under 90F ive had the same troble then i thought it would be ok till i lost a seedling at around 92f, ive moved my light and the seedling are happy at 80f now

[darbolah]

yeah i got the temps between 78-82F during the day with 7 cfls 2-3 inches away. All i had to do was move the tent inside my room rather than on my deck.

Hopefully they will start to grow faster soon

Thats odd, my seedles grew under different conditons, but I have my plants in a new setup now, the temp is ranging from about 68-88 and i'm not having any noticable problems. Only thing i find myself watching is the moisture in the soil :weedpoke:
