Heat without circulation and airflow is very very bad for most all species of plants.
It is a known scientific fact that optimal photosynthesis occurs at room temperature. So, the secret to growing any plant is to give it the brightest light (Most lumens) The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI derived unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total "amount" of visible light emitted by a source. Luminous flux differs from power (radiant flux) in that luminous flux measurements reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light, while radiant flux measurements indicate the total power of all light emitted, independent of the eye's ability to perceive it.
The only relation that Watts has to Lumens is the Watts to Lumens ratio of the bulb you are using (Watts is soley a power consumption ratio that is defined as Watts = V x I. Watts has nothing to do with your plants ability to photosynthesize.
Put a fan that has an ionizer on your plants and they will respond with amazing growth...no lie....
Most plants like to stay cool whenever possible....Kind of like certain people.
