How to raise soil temps
Puffdamagikchillumstarted grow question 7y ago
I am having a problem keeping my soil warm in a 5 gal fabric pot inside grow tent. Temp inside tent is 72F and humidity is steady at 48-50% but the soil inside pot is 60F or lower sometimes. My heater sits next to the pot but does not heat the soil. Tent is 32x32x63

The led will not make it hot enough on it's own.. might not even the heater anymore.. I'd monitor it for a day :).. I hope this helps...

Consider shutting the extraction fan off. Especially if you have an Oscillating fan in the tent. Your grow tent will gain humidity and heat. Just turn the fan back on in a few weeks once the plant is more established..

Tent is sitting on carpet but when I raise the temperature of tent the humidity drops even more. Extraction fan is set on low. I am in Michigan and right now outside temps in high 20's and outside RH is 86%. since my pot is raised off of floor with drip tray underneath I filled drip tray with water to see if that helps. I dont want to waste money on nutes if the roots are too cold to uptake them?

The substrate will always be lower than the room temperature but the 12 degrees in such a small pot is an oddity.
Are you on concrete? Insulate the bottom, raise grow tent temp to 78.

early transplanti was reading grow questions about transplanting, and it seems i may have done it too early - they just sprouted the first node when i transplanted, and theyre small. theyre showing no signs of stress. if I f'ed them up, i'd see it today right? what are the downsides?

Cloning advice. Why do I always kill these things?Hey guys, first time cloning and I'm not sure if I'm correct. Clonex gel, small cuttings (gift). Slapped them into riot rooters and sprayed them with RO water in a propagation kit. Just not sure how often I spray or if the heat pad is to hot, do they even need light? Thanks!Roots. Other

Roots at the base of stock above soilJust noticed what appears to be roots at the base of the stock after watering. Should these be covered back up from the light? Does it matter? They seem like strong roots that branched off just below the soil. First time I have noticed this. Thanks for any help or info. 👊

Honey for root growth.Wondering if anyone has ever used honey to promote rooting when planting germinated (cracked) seeds.
Read that honey helps as a natural root enhancer. Only tried once so far as a test but seems not to hurt the seed, if dont do anything else. Wondering if anyone else does this?Roots. Other

Outdoor Bonsai: Root Pruning instead of Repotting?? Thoughts??I figured I would start off my first grow question with a bang:
I'm thinking about turning Barry into Bonsai Barry. So basically, put him in the 7Gal pot and root prune where ideally you would repot (I would say 2-3 times knowing that I'm early).. 3..... 2...... 1....... SHOOT6y ago

Tap root surfacedHello
I have zero experience in growing cannabis. I germinated 2 autoflowers and both popped but, one tap root grew upwards. As soon as I noticed it I reposition it as carefully and easily as possible.Being an autoflower does it even have a chance. Posted pic on diary.
