Need to somehow bump those temps up. You start hitting low 60s and your plant is going to start slowing down nute uptake needed for flowering.

What’s your soil temps?
That is a better indicator than air temps I think anyway.
I run in the basement and have an oil heater hooked to a controller that turns on when temps go below 72F.
It keeps my temps around 70 at night heating 2 rooms totaling about 32’x20’
You can play with your settings on your inline fan as well as your exhaust fan your running. Not sure if there are adjustments you can make based on times when lights are off as I don’t have AC controllers so I don’t know if they do that.
My tents are on a wooden base so up off the cold concrete and soil temps are pretty much constant around 69-70 F

So maybe move the ac hose i got facin my vent , i was trying to keep temperatures low, but i guess i was aiming to low. I will adjust it once i get home. So low 70s day n night? My humidity is ok? I was worrying about terpenes evaporating once they begin forming. Is it ok to have a humidifier outside the tent by a vent to help with humidity? Should i stop running ac to my vent? All advice appreciated, Thanx​:v:t6:

My current soil meter shows temps but in the past I just used a meat thermometer I had in the drawer.
My environment is pretty stable so I don’t really look at that anymore as it’s pretty much always the same.
Do you have one or two inline fans? If just one dial it down.
If you have another at bottom you might just disconnect it. I’ve run a smaller 4” at bottom extracting air and inputting air depending on the house environment summer/winter etc.
Also look at what your house temps are and openning or closing doors and registers etc.
Outside environment affects the house environment and the house environment affects the tent’s environment it can be a constant dance even with all the gadgets.

Ok, well i have one in line fan inside of tent on top. I thought i need to keep my temps down,because they were reaching Almost 80F n since i knew i gonna flip to 12/12 i figured i had to lower the temperature. I should’ve moved the duct hose this morning n let the temps build up. I really appreciate this feedback!! So ill adjust my fan to get 70f n 60% ?

80 is a fine temp.
I’m good with up to around 84 lights on. Much more and I’ll kick up fan etc.
Think about the seasons outside and if the plant was outside during middle late veg in summer time temps are usually pretty high and during late flower in late fall they are lower.
Humidity plays a role too.
If you increase humidity without increasing temps the humidity will lower the temps….if you lower humidity it will increase temps…its a dance lol

Ok thank u so much. My bro kicks the same knowledge " Keep it simple". Im still a novice but im determined to get better. It was late September when i started my 1st one , temps were different. But yea, thanx again!! But when i get to drying my temps does go low ,correct?

A good range is 65-70 both temps and humidity for initial dry after chop. Just be careful about humidity and airflow as you don’t want any mold happening after all that work and time.
Low and slow
There is wet trimming removing most leaves after chop and I’ll do that if humidity is decently high.
If humidity is low I’ll dry trim leaving the leaves on to slow the dry down.
Another dance depends on how the environment is at that time.

I shoot for around 65F and around 60% RH

Soooo it seems i may have to run my exhaust fan constantly jus to keep that temp of 65. But even if was to keep my fan running, it also brings down the humidity some, so i feel like i need to put some type of humidity back in the mix. Thoughts?
