Hi there

my flower room has a 400w hps and twemps are 79 high.I also own a 250w MH that i have been adding for a couple of hours aday.When i add the light my room creeps upto about 84f at this point i've been turning it off normally 2 hourish.Will doing this help my buds or will the heat rises stress my plants(even tho i turn off to let room cool back to 79f before using again)?

depending on how the strain handles heat. It could grow outwards and airy. foxtailing may occur or worse, hermies. It is quite possible that nothing could happen at all.

But I do recommend trying to keep your heat below 80f 26 c

hmmm my flower room runs at 82 in summer :o no hermies same strain so think it will be ok? i dont wanna keep doing it if it harms not helps ^^

if your flower room hits 82 are you planning on using that MH in there as well

I dont personally think there is anything wrong with 82 as long as your humidity and air movement are good

Air movement is a must I'd say. Too much exposure to heat like that will produce airy buds. If you don't need the extra light in there i'd say cut it out. letum veg in just MH and bloom in hps. OR add some serious exhuast in that bitch. -Fresh
