Hi its photos and they week 8 flowering so I don't want any more problems and I'm really hoping for good yeald after losing 5 last week I will try the blanket today and if temperature isn't much better I will use my temperature controlled heater only have 2 plants left and I'm going to turn the mum plant which ismm massive and 6 cuttings next week and then scale down to 2 inside house areas with less babys I'm willing to pay electric cost for the heater for the next 12weeks then hopefully I will have enough to do the autos and photos in small areas till spring again but I'm still not mastering the leds distance ect but I have 4 areas to use as fed up of losing the full load of plants when they go wrong

What are you growing? Autos? Photoperiods? If they're autos, I would increase the number of hours they're getting light as the lights should generate enough heat for them... When I grow in the winter, my autos are under lights 24hours a day because I, too, cannot keep them warm enough otherwise. An electric blanket isn't going to give off enough heat - you really have to be touching those to feel warm and I doubt you'd want to actually drape it over your plants.. The plants would benefit from more than 12 hours of light anyway - more light = bigger buds... Good luck!

I say use a oscillating heater. A heat blanket would work well for clones and keeping the soil warm enough for cuttings to root, but I don't think that it would help keep the room warm for a flowering plant. I hope this helps.

Hi there I use tubular heaters for greenhouses etc, There eco/low wattage have built-in thermostats and don’t try the plants out 👍 Best of luck 🌱
