Hey @Niala!
Thanx for your reply and the VPD chart
That is the first time ive heard of that!
Unfortunately, yes, those temps are from within my tent!!
As said were going through (as is most of the world if im correct?!?) the hottest summer on record so ive had to pretty much give up on worrying about the temps in the tent
When i first started this grow (1st June) i was straight away getting temps in the 30s so changed my “day” hours from 06:00 - 00:00 to 16:00 - 10:00 n the “night” hours from 00:00 - 06:00 to 10:00 - 16:00 in the hope that having the lights off during the day would bring the temp down… it didnt!
Luckily i then found this note at the end of an article i was reading about tips on cooling your grow room…
“Not a cooling tip but more a growing tip for higher temperatures, is if you incorporate silicon with your normal feed you will be able to grow your plants in hotter conditions. This is due to the silicon as it helps your plants to become more resilient and remain healthy even if your temperatures rise up to 40c.”
So i started giving my plant liquid silicon, first as a folar spray n then after a month i started adding it to the feed
This is only only my second grow (and my 1st ended VERY badly with both my plants suddenly dying over the course of 4-5 days 3 weeks into flowering) so i still dont really know what im doing but i do think the only reason my plant has come this far so well is due to the liquid silicon
After all going by the temps ive had in my tent (the highest being 41.8!!) my plant should of died long ago!
The problem this has left me with is that sometimes my night temps (which is during the day) are hotter than my day temps (which is at night) but that is something beyound my control!
At the moment the weather here is back to normal (grey and raining on a summers day!) but the heat wave is supposed to return in the next week or so
Cant moan too much as not having any control over the temps has given me one less thing to worry about!
