Q
I’m new to LEDs, and I jumped straight in and purchased the Black Dog Phytomax 800. I’ve read a little and
it seems as though you need higher ambient temperatures than leaf surface temperature for their lights to
achieve maximum photosynthesis. The new LED may not produce enough heat for optimum conditions.
With added CO 2 at 1,200 ppm levels (levels I usually run with MH/HPS), what would be my optimum new
ambient temperature and relative humidity, and do I add more CO 2 ? With my old MH/HPS set-up, I always
kept my RH/temperature at 55/75°F, respectively.
Thanks,

Hi Benny Hydro RDWC,
Thank you for your

for a CO 2 -enriched
