That is a little low. you want to keep it between 70-75 if im not mistaken. Were are you growing? any way you can keep it warmer during lights out?

Not saying its fine, if you can bring them up alittle it would be better. Just saying the lower temp isnt affecting my plants. Some mornings when I check for low temp its been down to 54.

IME I have found that having temps in the mids 60's to upper 60's constantly works the best. Lights on /lights off same temp. or as much as I can get it to stay the same.

Lows 60's to 50's to 40's slow growth quite a bit

Yo Ho jabba123,

During the veg process, the ideal all around temp for non Co2 use is 76*-78* degrees (F). You can run your lights 24/7, and the babies will grow great as long as the light and care is good. During the flowering process consider the time of year that these babies would be producing those buds outdoors.

The temps would obviously be a bit lower at night cause seed development occurs during the fall. Night time temps, in a soil grow, indoors during the flowering process, would see ideal temps for fast flowering around the same as for vegging. Should you allow for the cooler temps at night you will only slow down the total flowering process. Still, myself I like to see nighttime temps drop down to around 68*-72* degrees. This I feel is a very good and ideal way to fly, but hey, we are all different and thank goodness for that cause it would sure be a boring world if we were all identical...

smoke in peace
