Remember your lights off temperature...

The grow room or grow tents - lights off temperature is very important yet is often over looked as the colder weather appears. At Hydrohobby we see so many issues related to this in the indoor hydroponics garden, and we ask the question - "What are your lights on  & lights off temperatures?". It's no trick question and is as important as your lights on temparatures.

Remember when it starts getting too cold your plants will assume it’s time to stop growing – as cold grow room temperatures emulate the winter season. This is not what you are looking for when growing plants indoors – the lower temperatures stunt growth and slow things right down - depleting your plants development and the final yield at harvest.

It's going to take up to 3 weeks for your plants to begin to repair themselves, once you address the issue - so now is the time ensure your lights off temperature is no less than 19°C!
