LED Light temps

[dwizzlex]

For years before changing to Autocobs and quantum boards, I always ran my mass built led lights in full spectrum from the start and ran the lights around the clock. Those grows were quicker with and yielded a little more. Something to think about.

73 is low for veg. Best you find a way to increase temp. I don't use my clip on fans for the first week or two and my inline fan runs at about 50%.

I figure that if I don't run the fans for the first 7-10 days, the temperature in veg mode will be slightly higher.
So you did veg and bloom from the beginning? Was that to keep the temperatures up? Is the red lighting appropriate at this early stage?

I didn't run full spectrum because of heat issues, I did it because of testing, and liking the results. I never turn off my inline fan.

Yeah, I've read a few people saying that they've just gone full tilt from the beginning with the cheaper LEDs.

Sounds like it should be fine. I'm currently end of week 7, using a Meizhi 1200w at 42" 18/6 set on veg for germination and early veg, temps mid 70's domed through small seedling. Didn't start the fan inside the tent for a few days after removing the domes, pointed it at the corner. Now with both veg/flower on I'm seeing mid 80's at the tops with the lights at 36".

My exhaust has to be either on or off, so will follow your advice and leave off initially. A couple of people have said this.
Would you use the oscillating fan straight away or wait with that too?

To regulate your tent temperature, consider adding a simple thermostat switch, outlet, extension cord, etc. to control the fan coming on and off? For example, I use a Lux Win100 and keep tent temperature within +/- 1 degree of the set point. Now you can probably find a cheaper wireless remote thermostat (or 'programmable outlet'). And these same thermostats can be used to control electric heaters too.
