Heat and Humidity Concerns...

[av8tor]

I am 2-3 weeks into vegging 4 plants under a quad bulb T5 fixture with my (Hatch inspired) Aeroponic setup. This is a attic grow.

I have a digital thermometer that also shows humidity, sitting right next to my plants. At around 5pm (the hottest part of the day) the temp has been getting to the 100's with the humidity at 40-50%. At night the lowest it gets is around 85 with 40-50% humidity.

I run the watering system every 4 hrs at night and every 3 hrs during the day, for 10 mins. Not once have I had a problem with wilting plants even when the temp is above 100. The plants seem to love the watering schedule.

My question is, am I going to run into problems when I start flowering, in regards to humidity and the temp?

Should I invest in a de-humidifier?

Would a lower temp be better for growth and flowering?
Since the hottest part of the year is when I will be flowering.

Any advice would help...

I'm definitely not an expert, but just from reading Sticky's and what not... I'm pretty sure that 100 degree temps will cause problems at any stage of growth. CO2 is usually implemented when temperatures go over 95F to prevent growth retardation if I'm "learning" correctly. :jointsmile: The only other advice I can attempt to give, is do what you can for now... and when it's time for 12/12... run the lights at night, keeping temps as cool as possible during the day. Either way, just wanted to get the info ball rolling. Hopefully someone more seasoned will come along shortly.
Stay and Keep :jointsmile:
