Only way to know is when you get readings back temperature wise...in terms of the angles, I don't see why not, seems like it should be directing where it needs to be going

temp was getting up to 38c lights on 23c lights off

now temp 29c lights on 23c lights off

was just thinking about the coverage on the plants sides as well as the canopy
I am turning the pots a little bit every day also.

To be perfectly honest with you..I think you're in a much better position to be able to judge that from where you are

Temps still too high.

29c is too high? when lights on?
what temp is the highest can go to with lights on?

Well, the ideal is between 25-26c (lights on)...you can go a degree or two either side generally but it's always best to shoot for the ideal if you can.

Lights off should be roughly 5c difference between lights on, again that's the 'ideal' but can fluctuate a little if needs be.

made the changes today and seems to have sorted it out but only got light on for half hour at a time still at the min so can monitor it. gonna put it on full 18hrs tomorrow if its ok tomorrow night at lights on il check about 5 min before it goes off.

managed to get the temp down to 25c lights on
and drops to 20c when lights are off

that's with the room temp today inside and out
so just going to prove it tomorrow.

broke my temperature sensor by mistake.
so just using cheap oldskool one till new one comes.
