Please convince member to join us. This has been discussed several times in multiple topics here. Generally speaking canopy temps under leds need to be higher in order to make same leaf surface temperature that hid gets under lower canopy temps.

I dont agree on the theory with the leaf surface but I am not a pro. Just doesn’t seem very convincing on first thought. All plants have different temperatures they thrive in depending on strain-heritage. Of course it depends on what temperatures we are talking about but anything above 30°C is not good. Just my oppinion.

Good luck
