Im subbed along

nice lights i want to get some led's was unsure if theyd would work before but seeing ppl's grows on here is inspirational

with your heating issue would a small box heater in the cold tent turned on for a few minutes at a time raise your temps?

Morning Reg...Awesome new set-up, goodies and beans!

Trying to figure out how to warm up your flower tent while the lights are on is not a bad problem to have at all

Great pics too btw!

I do think that 68 is just a tad low.Like Dennise said I think the easiest way would be adding a few cfl's to bring it up a few degrees.You may be able to use a small intake fan pulling in the warmer air from the room and no exhaust fan.Only leaving the upper vent open for hot air to escape when needed.
I would just add the cfl's tho.

 

[Jay233]

I wonder if pulling in air from the veg tent to the flower tent then exhausting the flower tent would work?...just a quick thought I didn't really think too much about it so it may not work...but it could possibly reduce veg tent temps, increase flower tent temps and bring fresh air into both..idk?

I vent from my flower to my veg and it helps bring up the rh

If you don't have room for the CFLs to add some heat, try some strings of xmas lights, but don't pull them apart. Plug in a few strings and lay them on the pots and the heat will travel up through the plant. I use this sometimes if I need extra heat at night on a very cold winter night in the greenhouse. LED xmas lights won't get hot enough.

Your plants would probably be a little bit happier with a few degrees bump, but those temps aren't going to hurt much.

On most flowering days (probably 90%+ of them) Loretta and Pascalle didn't get above 68F. If I was hanging out in there for a long time, sometimes the temps would float up to 70, but they've always been on the colder side. It gets down to 63-64F every night in my flower room. My ladies are/have done okay.

Your place is going to be warmer in a couple month's time anyway. I'd just leave it be for now if it were my tent.

 

[Dennise]

I agree with Dresney... U should be able to add a cfl or 2 back in there. It's how I kept my closet regulated...

Hi Reg!
Thought I might follow along- love that you have a led now.
I've got temp issues running 2 tents also so I'm very interested in how you resolve yours.
Happy growing!

@68f ur plants will be fine. it would be better at around 72-80f but ive had plants grow in high 60's with no issues at all. ive had plants in low 50's during nights and theyve been fine. try adding another light or venting some air in from a small heat fan.u def want to be extracting the air, u want fresh co2 through them plants.

That's 2 votes for CO2 Reg.

Thanxx so much for your input with the low temp issue everyone.

I feel a little at ease now. My partner and coach both agree those temps are not that bad.


Coach Cult, at the present time I can't afford anything else. Before I left this morning I decided to try leaving the top of the Bloom tent open to see if it would change the temp range. Now after reading your post I'm wondering if this would help with the venting & the fresh Co2.

Just got in and Temps have improved in the Bloom tent. My guess was right. Since heat rises I'd get warmer temps in there by leaving the upper portion of the tent open. It's amazing how so much of that grade school stuff keeps popping up helping us make decision in these grows



Today


It's up 4 degrees from this same time yesterday and has reached up to 73 today. It looks as if last night during lights off the low was 63. Let's talk humidity. How is this range for flowering?

Yesterday


The 86 high was from the Veg tent prior to setting up the new Bloom tent as the temp gauge gives a high/low on a 24 hr base history.
