Yeah thats what I'm figuring, the a/c is killing the bill. What is the max sustained temp plants will still thrive in? I killed the a/c earlier today and my grow room went to about 89-90 degrees. Starts to smell dank at that temp too. Atleast cooler temps will be here soon. Maybe I should try to switch the lights to run at night when its cooler? I really don't want neighbors hearing fan noise in the quiet night though.
Do we know anyone who has gone through a grow with those superled's? It looks nice and they say its equiv to a 400w hps. 2 would run $1300. Their website says out of stock so people must be buying them up. I don't doubt they grow plants but am curious if they effect potency.
