Hey nebula not sure if this contacts you directly or not but I posted about a sick plant and would be thrilled if you could review and provide feedback!
thanks

That being said, I've been speaking with commercial growers about temperature, and lately there's been a lot of discussion about high temperatures. Many growers use higher temperatures if they're using CO2, up I to the 90s, because that increases yields. However, it's been noticed that although yields are increased, it seems like sometimes high temperatures sacrifice quality by reducing smell, taste and sometimes it can even make buds harsh.
When I've communicated with Ed Rosenthal, he's definitely a big believer of keeping cooler temps through drying. He flirts with mold-friendly temperatures (60-70°F) and higher humidity (50% RH) while drying, but keeps an extremely close eye and uses lots of care.
I have to agree bud quality seems to suffer at higher temp, though I feel like even if you're not using CO2, keeping the temperatures a little higher around 80 or 85 produces bigger yields, but you have to make sure they get cool at night to help counteract any bad effects from the heat.
So that's just some random thoughts that come to mind. I can see the possibility of benefit to keeping the temperature in the exact same place the whole time, but I'd very interested in seeing the experiments before I subscribe to it, as I know my methods produce very high quality and especially high potency. Also, I imagine the "perfect" temperature probably varies slightly from strain to strain.
You've inspired me to run a side by side test. I'd love to do one tent with a high of 80 and low of 70, and a separate tent with clones that stays at 73 or something, and compare yields and quality. We'll soon be getting a far bigger grow space where we can do more testing
Of all the growing "gurus" who write books, I feel like Ed Rosenthal is one of the best. He keeps a very clean grow room, and has high standards. I'd trust that you will get good results by following his instructions. There are many ways to grow, and each has pluses and minuses. A lot of things that increase potency and yields will reduce smell and vice versa, so it's about tuning your grow into what works best for your goals. I'd love to hear the results of any experiments you do. Please PM me because sometimes I miss visitor messages
