Just wondered what part of my drobe to put my thermometer to get correct readings?

high enough so its not bein hit by direct light puffy

thanks trebor, so im wanting to take the temps above the light? I have been taking them at the level of the canopy, that could be where im going wrong as my tems are around the 35.c mark. Me thinks thats a little on the hot side

I have mine at the level of the canopy

yea puffy mate above but not too near your reflector (ambient heat off it will raise it) .

bulb musto been shinin right on it to show 35

Hi GJ, thats where i thought it would go as surely you want to know the temps around the plants and as the plants are in the direct light seems like the obvious place, I hope im wrong as i said my temps are very high.

can anyone advise my how a plant reacts when its to hot, my plants seem healthy. Do they wilt when to hot?

I have moved my thermometer above the light in the drobe abd temps are now reading 25.1 .c thats more like it

Heat rises... So heat will be different from floor level...

I'd say, you should keep the thermonitor close to ground level and OUT of direct sunlight ie in the shadows for accurate readings...

There seems to be a difference of opinions here, anyone else like to offer there advice?

you need to have your thermometer at canopy level but of direct light. I use a thermometer with a probe on it and rest the probe near the top of the canopy hooked over a branch but shaded by a leaf, failing that put yer thermometer imnside a crisp bag or summat to shield it, it the ambient temperature your measuring and that IS the correct answer well thats my answer and im sticking to it
