Temp soil or air?

[Zeus2007]

Hello!

Just a quick one;

Is the 85f temp for the air around the plant?, or, the soil in the pot?

I am using a digital thermo that was originally meant for checking meat temp.

Its got a good range - around 0c-95c I think, heres a drawing of it:

85 is as hot as you ever want to let your grow room get. That's an air temperature. Your soil temperature should ideally be in the mid to high 70s.

ideal air temps are 73F when lights on, and no higher than 70 when lights off...canopy levels no higher than 78-80F

water temps should be 68-72F... can go lower, remo on urban grower lets his water get to 58 i believe he siaid, ill have to confrim this... but sitck with 68-72
