Autos are just starting to flower the photos are dying for some bigger pots. I've been trying to bring up the overall plant health in general since moving everything to a basement the temps are a little lower than ideal. I had a space heater delivered today and monitored the temps but they only went up to around 78°f I want it to be atleast 82°f ideally 85. The heater uses 1500 watt and only increased it about 2 or 3°. I dont think it's worth the extra cost for such little boost. I'm thinking about returning the heater and throwing a 1000w hps in one of the other tents and see if that will raise it anymore. Especially with LED and co2 higher temps would be very beneficial in veg and early flower but the room is so big its gunna be tough to pull off without killing me on electric costs. Any suggestions are welcome. I know this room does decent in flower but I havnt done much veg work down here and I'll have some autos growing this round so it's important I get it up.
@YourDream, ah I see, that makes sense but the problem is the cold temps especially at night. Once I got the temps into the 80s they turned right around. I'm just having trouble keeping the temp up now I need summer to come
They look much better already. I agree with the temperature issue they have a tough time moving nutrients through the root system when temps get too low. If your on a cold concrete floor this could compound the issue. You can talk to your electrician about installing electric radiant floor heat under your tent. You may need to build a platform of 2x4 and plywood for the tent to sit on. Have him install an GFCI or an arc-fault interrupter in the power supply feed for safety. I've installed this in many a bathroom under ceramic tile floors. The good news is spring is right around the corner.👍
@Philindicus, thanks bro I'll have to look into that sounds expensive but I actually searched for extra large heating mats like the seedling ones a few weeks ago. After adding the small heater the heat hasnt been an issue, I have a hps in this tent to raise the heat on the opposite side of the tent with these under LED but might be better off with another small heater and 2 led to save on power
@hawkbo, WOW 😳 those buds look WONDERFUL. I love the coloration and the amount of trichomes! The diary is GREAT and the pics are AMAZING! Well done, man! 👍
wow 😮 they look amazing, well done. Which camera did you use for the photos? I still haven't figured out, how to take best bud shots without investing in a new camera... Edit: just saw your description, interesting method.
