15 yrs ago the last time I tried this the space I used hit 100 deg with the lights on and I didnā€™t see any ill effects other than extremely fast water uptake. Night temps were mid 70s. I mean how bad can it really be if Iā€™m over 85 lights on since the plants grow in areas with 100+ temps naturally

Thatā€™s good to know, I saw a grower on YouTube say they are not much good running at a lower power setting. Due to narrowing of spectrum.

Your right there is a lot of conflicting info out there, the problem is, everyoneā€™s grow is slightly different, so there is always exceptions. Maybe it was his make of light bulb that was no good.

I am not saying itā€™s impossible to grow at high temperatures, I just found it very frustrating and stressful being a bit of a perfectionist. So sorry if I am coming over as a bit of a dick.

If you are a new grower itā€™s going to add more stress to your first grow, and a greater possibility of a dissapointment. So I am just trying give you a heads up of possible problems, I encountered trying to do the same thing, I am not saying donā€™t do it. Fore warned is fore armed lol. Itā€™s good to have a backup plan.

I was constantly having to re adjust things every day, depending on ambient temps, until I got the air-conditioning set up to deal with all the extra heat, compared to my LEDs I was using, before I got the HPS light.

I would be interested to see a grow run @ 750 on a 1000w light. To know for sure how well the plants do.

I have been at 750 for a few weeks. My temps were fine before switching (72 to 75) I did it due to plants stretching and the intensity being too much that close. Plants have been trained and or bent away
I am going back up to 1000 soon.
