I have 4 armatures with 2 lamps each and at the moment I only use blue light.
@sooby: should I replace some of the blue lamps with red lamps for the best result?

Outside the tent (in the garage) temps vary between 40F and 45F at the moment.
Inside however temps go up to 70F when the lamps are on and 58F when the lamps are of.
That is ok, right? Shrug!

Humidity inside the tent is VERY high: condensationwater is really running down the walls... Confused
Could that be a problem?


The blue light is from fluorescent tubes? It looks like there is no natural light?

High humidity isn't the best thing, can you ventilate a little more? Are the lights at their final height over the plants?

I think the temperatures are fine. Not to steal Maurice's question but I would personally have the lights on 14-16 hours Smiling

Sorry I'm asking more questions than I'm answering but the answers depend on the answers Hilarious!
