    So My Dad fell and broke his hip Sunday night .Monday was watering day(I check with meter and I really let them get close to dried out) so when I went down yesterday the veg tent was droopy but Autos and Bloom were just thirsty, the veg room had recovered before I closed it up, I also trimmed up the Autos look at these leaves from my Sour Hound wow are they fat. the second picture is of bird tracks in the snow I thought they just looked cool

      Love the bird track pic.

    Saturday was the beginning of week eight of bloom still waiting on plants to use up the water they have, its in the 60s in my cellar so the girls have slowed a bit it has not been over freezing in 2 weeks so its getting a little chilly in the cellar . Anyways heres some pictures . The Little girl is my great grand daughter, picking a Christmas tree.

    Does anyone know of a small safe propane heater I don't wan't to heat the cellar just raise it up a couple of degrees in the bloom room, I was looking at the co2 generators holy crap 300 bucks

      Beautiful OJH! And so is the child😊

    oldjarhead100 Hey bud the girls are looking great!! Have u thought of getting an electric space heater? One with a thermostat? The newer infrared ones are pretty nice an don't dry out the air.. plus u can just set the thermostat an be done with it.. I havent found a decent propane one with any kind of thermostat.. have u thought of maybe a kerosene heater... Just set it on low.. an they put off c02 I believe right? So win win.. u get heat an a c02 generator? Just some things to think about .. personally I'd go with the infrared heaters.. checked out they work pretty darn good.

      A seedling mat under the pots seems to do the trick for me OJH. (Although you have a forest😂) It doesn’t affect air temp a lot but keeps the medium and roots from huge temp swings. U can time it to come on 15min before lights out. Also styrofoam on the floor would help to. Good luck

        Thanks guys .yesterday when I went down the room temp was 68 degrees and the heater was off it was 18 last night so I will see what the temps are this morning, the thermostat will be here today. The best temp to keep a room at is 70 correct

        Lol, I suppose it's debatable. I've read 70, 75, 78, and 80.... depending what stage you're in of course. I'm at 73 and they seem to enjoy it more than the summer months, or maybe im just growing better now lol

      My exhaust vent is right next to my oil fill line, I'm going to put a note beside it that says I installed this heater so you could be warm while you pump oil, I think he will laugh like hell he knows about the room anyways

        the therostat came in yesterday ,its installed and set at 70 degrees .I hope they are Happy with that cuse it would be to costly to raise it higher.
        It was 63 in the room when I opened the door hooked it up closed the door for 5 minutes then checked 70 I had to adjust the differential temp I went with 2 degrees . then stayed in room until the thermostat shut down it worked , Now all I have to do is warm my Auto/Veg Tent up

          it sitting on cement at least 6 inches away from everything and will automatically shut off if it tips over,I used one of those oil filled radiator before it was expensive and slow with the ceramic it comes on heats up and shuts down , I am still playing with the setting on the heater but yesterday the room was 70 with a high of 75 so I turned the heater down to half way and see what that does, I have a 2 degree differential setting on the thermostat so it cycled pretty quick although I dont know how it works when the light is off . I think I will check it before the lights come on in the morning I'm usually up before they go on .

          Hey OJH, that ceramic one sounds like a good one, does it cost much to run those ceramic heaters, ? I'd still be careful till you get used to it.
          I tell you what I'm ready for is some spring time weather, where your humidity an sh-t is about normal, all I got growing they young an that damn humidity staying to low for them young plants to half-ass grow right. I'm ready for the ground to warm up.

          I hear ya D.A.S.S.69. My seedlings are growing painfully slow right now. Humidity was at 25% cause they were in the same room as my almost done flowering plants. Now I have a humidifier running full time but only got RH up to 45%. Temp at night is like 64-68 degrees and 72-79 during day.

        every year I bake cookies with 5 of our grand kids that day was yesterday we made cookies for both sets of grandparents and great grandparents in the hospital,both parents,and enough for the family Christmas party today , when they asked if they could do one for me I said I could only have one cookie, gotta love them grand kids

            That's how it starts, just a patch on a leaf. I did some research on it, read that kush plants are very susceptible to pm. If it spreads it becomes a serious battle to get rid of.

            Yeah, an it ain't easy to get rid of if it spread. You can try the best you can to prevent it, but your still liable to get something, its almost got to be perfect conditions to grow a nice plant.

            I've had to deal with it before and it is a real pain in the ass ,none of the other 9 week plants are showing any signs and if they do I will harvest,one of the 3 week bloom plants was just starting to show so I sprayed it with Neem oil. After I harvest the other 5 plants that almost ready just waiting for bud swell to happen, I will spray all of the other plants in bloom room , One thing I did find was that WPM glows in led light when my hps was away from the plant you could really see where the WPM was

          While I was down cellar yesterday I was thinking about removing the insulation from the heating pipe that runs though the cellar ,then I remembered a pipe in my garage that had fins on it and I wondered if they made fins that you could attach to an existing pipe, I called this pluming store in town that carries parts for stuff 100 years old and they had something that would go on a 2 1/4 inch pipe perfect , I went up and the box was so old it fell apart in my hands lol so now I will have aux heat in cellar grow area

            It needs to be good an warm this time of the year, maybe that will help you out a good bit.
            Yeah like PuravidaC said some of them old pipes might might give you a light case of asbestos poisoning, ain't no telling what kind of sh-t you breathing, I'd wear a mask of some type, bandanna, an try to get that dust out, the best you can, an then your good to go.

            thanks guys all set,I used a mask and tried to take off pieces without damaging them cause it is asbestos, so I disturbed it as little as possible
            last night was a good test it is negative 6 right now I think I may have to hang some type of curtain at the end of my tent

          So I tried some of the kush bomb really strong and flavorful and I now know why bud swell has taken so long (They have been growing seeds) yup that little f in male got me again ,IDK if all of them have seeds or just her but I am thinking all. time will tell . I looked and couldn't see any seeds so maybe.

            Pollen is a bane on our existence...

          I went to check on the girls yesterday morning and it was noticeably warmer but still in the 60 to 68 range ,I am going to try hanging something across the cellar to close off grow area that might get me a few degrees if I could keep it all over 65 that would be great

          The bloom room is working its 65 to 73 now .

            U could just use some blue board and foil tape make some temp walls I think the stuff is r7 per inch so u could easily make yourself a little room around your grow area.

            Also if u sleep with your plants your body heat helps.

            Like abadtrip said, I was thinking that too. The white polystyrene sheets are like six bucks each. I prefer the foil lined foam sheets but they are three times as much. Both work great for trapping heat.
