Growing in hot environments?

Whoah! Slow down! I haven't made it to the Flowering chapter yet. LOL Thanks for the input

Just want to make sure your ready is all. Just monitor your hydrometer and you'll be ready. High humidity veg low humidity flower . Keep lookin at small ac units. Try and avoid misting ones unless you can turn the mist off. If I read correctly your In florida so ull have it running during flower as well. Cheers

Forgot to ask earlier but do you have an exhaust fan going?

Being in the SE USA, I too must deal with summer temps. I recently converted a cooltube hps system over to a mix of led and cobs, primarily because of heat. This will be my first summer under the new setup.
My intake is filtered from a crawlspace underneath via 4" centrifugal fan on variable control. Exhaust is through a flue via another 4" setup.
I still run lights at night to make use of cooler outside air which helps maintain the tent temps.
The only time I'm concerned with humidity is winter when to have to run a humidifier.
I hope its gonna be easier to keep temps below 85f which was difficult previously.
I've kinda set that goal as somewhere the past few years, I read that trics form slower above 85...
Air exchange/ventilation should help offset temps so that higher temps may not harm as much...at least that's what I like to believe, cause I don't want to add ac to my lil tent!

Just kidding about the Whoah stuff. All help is appreciated. I'm convinced I need to get a small ac. I live in an rv so I have pull the window out and then fill it all in to fit. Nobody said it would be easy. Don't have an exhaust fan yet but will next week. Damn mud daubers killed my current exhaust fan

You dont need a window ac unit. You can get your hands on a small personal one. Be cheaper and easier to regulate

Interesting putting the co2 bag up high and makes sense with co2 heavier than air. I do wonder if the fans migh blow it away though?

What's convinced me to get the ac is its just beginning of June and mid to high 90's forecast for at least 2 weeks. I had trouble sleeping myself last night. I am going to look at one of those swamp cooler things. I think your right that it might help to dial in the temp. I believe I have to get the general temp at least in the area I want it at

Not really, most of the time the doors are closed so most of it stay in.
