I found this interesting so I thought I'd share it. From Cannabis Culture Magazine By DMT, Monday, April 24 2000 Fine-tuning temperature and water for maximum quantity and quality. Why waste light and electricity growing stem? Stretched-out plants are the bane of indoor growers. There are several ways to reduce internodal length and thus grow denser, more efficient buds. The easiest and most under-used way to control internodal stretch is temperature control. Plant internodal length is directly related to the difference between day and night temperatures ? the warmer your day cycle is as compared to your night cycle, the greater your internode length will be. The opposite also holds true; the closer your day and night temperatures, the shorter your internodes will be.... Read the rest of the article here....

| My thermostat controlled fans keep my flower room within 7-10f between lights on and off. My stretch since putting this in has been kept to the minimal 2x. but you have to have cool intake air I keep my mancave at 68 so the flower-room can maintain 74-80 and you have to have enough fan power to do the job I use a 6" poc duct-booster for the light [550HPS] and a stanley blower to vent the rest of the 88cu ft room I haven't mastered watering....yet kudos Spud for the article
