Lighting Dark period temp question

The temp drop depends what kind of lighting you have.What are your temps with lights off?
Once it stays above 16 C short term it should be fine but increasing humidity can be a problem where the temp drop is significant...
I never check temp cuz I don't like to interrupt the dark period maybe I'm jus paranoid lol but I usually have a Ac running and air cooled tube with a really nice inline fan too when the dark period comes I turn the Ac way to be set at 74 depending on the temp outside tho its really easy for me to control the temp in my grow area so I jus wanted to know if my grow room is normally 77f if I jus left the Ac completely on without lowering it if it got to like 66 is that to cold what is the recommended difference between lights on and off
I'm not sure but have heard a max difference of 10C mentioned before.
I would certainly aim for as little difference as you can which you seem to have control of. Good luck..

I was gonna do 24 electricity was why I didn't and also I wasn't sure if my electrical setup was that good my first cord wasn't the right rating and melted the extension lol I had to buy a heavy duty extension cord so know I'm constantly worried about the heat from the cordsThis is exactly why I run my lights 24/0

With my lights on I have 30-35°C at canopy and 35-45% humidity.
With my lights off I have 20-24°C and 60-70% humidity.
I run 18/6, could this be problem in flowering period? How to lower humidity, I cannot put air in because it's already hot here in summer.
There is always a risk of mould in those conditions... you need to ensure good air circulation and could use a dehumidifier during lights off.
Best of luck...
