If you are using a high co2 concentration and have day temps of 85 your buds will definately not be airy and light...

I have humidity issues at 85. My perfect balance is 80 with 40-45 RH. 85 puts me 50+%. Let me know how 85 works out for you as I will run 80.Well, you are making my point, look at how they are fox tailing out on you, that is a high temp issue. Nothing wrong with that, when I want to make hash etc. but for my personal stash of smoke I shoot for tight nugs bro. You need to show me a close up of one of those colas dry, if you want to impress me with a donkey dick. I have grown my own share of them, outside looks ok, but as soon as you dig in to the cola, they are loose, bright green and overall not satisfying to my taste. To each their own Max, I just wish you wouldnt act as if 85f is common practice if you want top of the line dank!
To the op, once you have grown your first batch at 85f, and you see firsthand what I am talking about, just remember that all you have to do is drop the temps, to make it all better
Good luck bro!

Does it have an air or zero calibration, or is it factory only? Background calibration DOES NOT work in a greenhouse environment. I've learned alot about them over the years.

Sorry dude my nugs are hard as a rock... don't really give a shit what you think and the pigtailing is a pheno from the blueberry and is most likely doubled because I pinch my tops.

And I know with my controller you have to take it outside to calibrate it..

I'm using the Sentinel CHHC-4 C02 Controller and it works great, when I'm not starving it power... I blew the power supply on it but it was my fault for overloading the circuit it was on. Sentinel sent me a new PS and it works perfect.
My running temp is 83-86F and c02 is set to 2000ppm during their light cycle. I didn't run c02 during veg since the plants don't use much of it at that time anyway. With my 50 lb tank turned off, the room still hovered at 900ppm since I was in there often. The longer I stayed, during feeding, trimming and lst'ing the ppm would be around 1100. No need to waste the tank at that time. I'm in my first week of flower and letting the c02 blast. Results should be great from everything I've gathered.
Also, my two 1000w digital ballasts don't seem to interfere with my controller at all. They are all within 2' from one another.
Best of luck with your controller issues. Your plants look good either way,

Well, that’s the beautiful thing max, you don't have to! I'm still going to call bullshit when I hear it. 85f is a recipe for disaster (for many reasons), and you should not go around advocating it, especially not as the big ganja doctor you act like! And btw, ah fuck it...

I'm curious as to why you would spread bad information about 85F being a "recipe for disaster"? What type of disaster are you referring to exactly? You shouldn't have trouble explaining yourself since you claim "for many reasons". What are those reasons, and please show proof, not just your opinion, thanks.
Taken directly from Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Grower's Handbook:
As the temperature rises from the high 70's into the 80's F, plants spend more energy staying cool and maintaining faster cell metabolism. However, under high light conditions, photosynthesis increases as the temperature rises, resulting in a net gain in plant growth. Photosynthesis reaches it's apex at about 85F and about 6000-7500 fc (81,000 lux) of light. However, as heat rises further to 90F (32C), photosynthesis slows until it stops at about 95F (35C). At this point, plants go into preservation mode; photosynthesis stops as the plants spend energy acquiring water and transpiring it through the stomata in order to keep it cool.

Call bullshit when ever you want, let me see some pics of your grow since you like talking shit.... O and I forgot I joined this forum just to impress your stupid ass!!! So your saying when it gets 85 degrees outside that it fucks with plants.... think about what you said DUMBASS. Have a good night and GO FUCK YOURSELF!!! TROLL

yea it works great now!
What an immature person you are, there is no need to call me names cause I don't agree with you bro, dumbass, dickface, troll etc. What are you man, a teenager or what?! Internet tuff guys, where I come from you don't talk to a man like that. You are too inmature for a conversation, that is too bad.
I do not understand why you are too dense to understand the relationship between RH, high temps, plant stretching etc. Clearly during veg it does not matter as much, and we run higher temps, I run mine at about 83-85f during veg. But as soon as we get a dense canopy and some bud production, the temps come down a bit in order to prevent , stretching, mold problems etc. All comon problems with outside grows, so don't come to me with your bullshit comparison to the great outdoors.
92f with 35% RH, yep, you sure know your thing....
I got most of Ed's books, but he only talks about photosynthesis here, not about the heightened chance for molds, powdery mildew, increased root zone temps, bud stretching, pests thrive at higher temps as well, outgassing becomes a very real thing to consider at higher temps....
I have grown with co2 for over 3 years now. I have grown at temps as high as 85f, an as low as 76f. During veg I still run my temps between 83-85f, but during flower I get my best results (best to me is usually not the same as largest), meaning bud density, bud quality, teste etc, bud weight per size... at around 78f.
Instead of calling me names you guys should try it out, run identical genetics twice, once at 85f and once at 78f, and see for yourselves....

Here you go, like i said close ups please:
Only because you want me to, I do not think this is a bud contest, all but is rightouss in its own way...
I'm only talking about most favorable growing conditions.

I don't recall calling you any names? I asked why you would spread bad info since what you were saying contradicts everything I've been reading. I think I'll still with Ed on this one. If Ed turns out to be wrong I will gladly come give you the praise you so desire.
btw, those are some nice buds!
Idon't desire anything other then sharing experiences. Do with it as you must, but let's do it in an adult like maner. You are right, you we're not the one calling me names.I don't recall calling you any names? I asked why you would spread bad info since what you were saying contradicts everything I've been reading.

Here's some info to add to this. During veg you want day and night temps closer together for ex. 82F-79F. This promotes growth of the foliage and more bud sights. During flower, or at least towards the second half of flower, you want day and night temperatures further apart for ex. 85F-75F to promote flavors, smells, colors, terperntines, ect.

do the math and set timers and use fresh air as control or buy expensive monitor your choice. co2 is the best way to go your room dimensions are almost the exact same a mine. just make sure everything is sealed up and lights on during the day so you can run higher temps. i used co2 my first time in a small room 4 three weeks and my plant tripled its size also you might want to set up irrigation if your not doing hydro they suck up water in the co2. i think im forgetting something.. of and good air circulation in room keep that co2 molecules swaped out on the leaves
