So im flowering right now 10 diesel clones in a homebox S its 31" x 31" but im not using all the space. I Have a 205W LED unit in there but im finding the temperatures get kinda low... i get about 70-75 in there. Now i know that is what i would normally want if i was using a HID but i remember reading in some threads that LED's require higher temps ? Why is that? Right now i have another 7 23 watt CFL and 1 45watt CFL in there to help keep it warm and to give the outer edges some extra lighting. With the cfls i get temps from 82-86. Do you guys think i need the CFLS?
