liztoParticipantOctober 26, 2024 at 9:59 pmI’m preparing for my first grow. One thing that I don’t see talked about is what about the lights out hours? What temp, humidity, etc. do we need during those times? Should I keep fans running? My tent will be in my basement here in Minnesota.
TIA

Keep fans running always. It helps exchange air and keep pests from resting on your plants. When the lights go out two major things happen. One is the stomata on your leaves close up In an attempt to conserve water in the plant. Another thing that happens is humidity spikes. When lights are on the emit heat which lowers humidity. Without the heat from lights it RH can soar so you may want a dehumidifier in there. Try to keep temp swings to a max of 10 degrees until the last couple weeks. A good dip into the high 40’s/low 50’s can pull out the anthocyanin if it is present, and give you some nice color. There is an argument to be made for the cold period increasing terps a bit too. Terpenes are a mostly a defense mechanism so stress can, in some cases, actually increase flavor.

I run my lights at night and my temps get around 83 with my lung room at 72. fan never stops at level 1. but ramps up to level 3 at 83f. During lights out my nighttime (Really daytime) temps drop to around 74.
