    Welcome to the freezer

    The temps. Here have dropped to a low of 10 and a high of 20 this really sucks trying to keep a good growing temp is impossible the min. The lights go out the temp. Drops by 15 degrees at least. Trying to cope is a real struggle.any suggestions besides moving would be helpfull thanks

    Only thing I can think of (can't worry about electric bill) is a space heater in room, not in tent. They now make propane space hearters, using the bottled stuff you use for your grill.

      Molasses helps protect plants when it's cold. Some people use molasses foliage sprays in winter. You might want to research if/how to use it as a foliage sprays for cannibis. Obviously avoiding the flowering sites if that's an option you choose.

        Probably goes without saying,Be Careful, make sure it's indoor rated. A carbon monoxide detector would not be a bad investment.

          I wired in a couple of infrared heaters and set them on a thermostat. I also put an old sleeping bag over my growbox which helps. Problem solved!!!!! BTW it will be about zero here tonight. Stay warm !

            Electric, oil filled radiator. Won't dry out the air like the others. When temps drop so does humidity.

            My $.02.

              That's what I use in my grow room when it gets cold. Plus a humidifier.

            The oil filled radiators are great. We use one in the part of basement we have set up like a family room. Just don't touch it when in use!!

              You can get tube heaters for grow tents kinda like an aquarium heater but 2-4 feet long.
              Have your lights off period during the 'warmest' part of the day.
              Grow autos during the coldest part of the year so lights can run 24/0.
              Ceramic heat lamps that don't produce any light.

                      First ice storm of the year, only about 1/3 inch but covering everything. Give me snow any day of the year. And I'm being roasted alive in the house. The hubs has a sensitivity to cold. Oil furnace cranking away and space heaters going throughout the house. Damn, it's like 80 in here. He's ill so I have to keep my mouth shut and act like I'm comfortable. Gotta go outside from time to time to cool off.
