Does it matter where i put it??????...when i place it on my cups it says the temp is above 100.......can that be right ????? when i read the box it said dont place in direct sunlight or light source...so maybe that was the reason.....i just dont want to put it to far because i dont think it will be a accurate reading....

your temps should be between 73 & 78 and no higher than 82... and humidity should be between 40-60% during veg and lower humidity during flowering

My temps usually roam around 79- 84.

I try not to let it get any hotter than that. Some people say that temps should be in the high 70's all the time but I have not seen any problems when they are in the low- mid 80's.

As long as it is not 90- 100 then I think you will be OK.

And you will get a false reading if you put the temp gauge directly under the light. Put it off to the side about in the middle of the grow room, halfway up and halfway across.
