Thanks for this thread being in your sig Rusty.

I was browsing around kinda thinking about trying to get my temps down a little bit more cause they were hitting 85-90 during the heat of the day. This is with the gauge sitting on the pots rim and the fluoro's are less than a foot away from it.

I saw the Simple question thread by Hypomaniac and decided to read this thread. Thanks again.

Im not worried bout my temps now :thumbsup:
Slevinkal Reviewed by Slevinkal on . Dealing with heat issues in the desert... Below is what I do for my soil grow during our hot summer months in the southwestern desert. I have never grown hydro, so am unable to verify any of this for anything other than soil grows. My flowershed is an outdoor shed approx 8' x 12' x 8' tall, of which a quarter if it is for growing. (no, it's not a metal shed) In my humble (sometimes) opinion, "must keep temps below 80" is a guideline, especially appropriate for beginners. -However- Being anal about it is truly unnecessary.
