Is it good to keep a constant temp?

[spacejes]

Lately i´ve read that it´s good with a little lower temperature during nighttime, that it gets stronger.
1 or 2 years ago i read that best is a constant temp.
Both writers have seemed to be smart.
What you say?

I keep as close to constant as possible, did you read "Whats the d.i.f.?"
I liked that article, and it has worked for me so far...If your days are super hot, I'd say a cooler night is still better than heating up the room at night.

I try to keep everything stable at 24-25C or 75F. This is a good temp for plant growth through all stages.

Ah, thank you guys!
Has more sins
Im definetly going to read "whats the dif". The problem is more of the opposite, Norway can be pretty fucking cold this time of the year(this is only the begining). Almost about to start snowing.
EDIT: Sorry but I don´t find the article, mind linkin it? Would be super cool

Yes, High coutry, i think that´s what i´ve heard. It slows/stops the growth at 17c right?
Ah temperature controlled heater it is then.

Yes, ideally you want to keep it a stable 75 degrees, swings in temperature cause more stretch

Swings in temp will cause more humidity as well. I like to keep it as consistent as possible.

A constant temp is best.Some people try to go a few degrees cooler with afghan strains in the dark part of the cycle because it has been reported that it brings out purple in them.

Thanks for the many good advices.
I would still like to read "Whats the d.i.f.?" so if somebody has got the link it would be welcome. So 24-27c in normal cases and if you want a hint of purple, how low does the temperature have to go? And how long time does it take for the plant to shift color?
Excuse me if i walk of the track, atleast it´s interesting(for me )

Whats the DIF was an article in High Times a few years ago. Try going there and do a search.
If I remember correctly, it said, what has been said here, minimal temp variance, is best.

Ive always read you want to keep daytime and night time temps about 10 to 15 degrees different. This would mimic nature as it is warmer during day light hours and cooler at night. Seems like a no brainer to me.

From everything ive ever read & my own experience tells that its best to keep a constant temp, or at least within a few degrees 'F'-(Lights On to Light Off), its detrimental to the plants if a drop in temp of more than 10f or 15f is observed, its supposed to decrease yields, why exactly im not sure. I suppose the more comfortable the conditions & environment are for the plant the more they can & will yield, that makes sense to me.
I use a small oil filled Rad just on the other side of my Inlet duct, i run a thermostat into the cab & my temps run 70f to 78f, but usually sits between 74f & 78f lights on or off! Large drops in temps are gonna cause tissue damage so it makes sense that a drop of over 15f is gonna cause problems for the plants.

Looks like just us? Only during the flower stretch, first 3 weeks of 12/12 do we try to keep the temps tighter to reduce stretch. If you want to bring out the plants response to temp change, do so and watch the trichomes swell.
