New Grow room

[oldjarhead100]

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

Old school, I like it!!! Be sure you wear a mask when removing the old insulation. That old insulation will fill the air with bad stuff when removing!

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.

Ive got an asbestos mask if ya need OJH. Let me know if ya want me to bring it.

 

[oldjarhead100]

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.

What happened this time OJH?, Sounds like the mailman is slipping in when you ain't home.

 

[oldjarhead100]

remember I found that male limin louie I thought I cut it down in time but I guess not lol

 

[oldjarhead100]

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 .

Pollen is a bane on our existence...

 

[alltatup]

Hope that helps contain the warmth.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

If that don't help it will be springtime again before too much longer.

 

[RosettaStoned]

That's a hopeful statement daas, haha

 

[Aloner]

Lol DAAS springtime up here don't start until around late May. And that's if we're lucky!

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.

 

[RosettaStoned]

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.

 

[alltatup]

I like the idea of sleeping with the plants. That's love.

 

[Tika]

Totally with @alltatup.... But on the serious...Your effort is quite admirable, remarkable and thoroughly stubborn. Hats off to you OJH🌟🌟🌟

 

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks all I like the idea of sleeping with them , My wife has never raised her voice to me in 20 years but I think she would if I told her I was sleeping with the plants lol. Thanks for the ideas for closing the cellar off ,I like some of them but I have to be able to get through it to get to plants ,

 

[oldjarhead100]

I figured that I haven't posted pictures of my runty Autos lol
first picture is of a sour hound ,I dont think I've ever grown a 4 inch plant before lol .The buds are very hard and almost golf ball size 40ish days
the second is of the two sour hounds both are very small . I think the lesson here is that don't grow this strain unless optimal conditions are achieved and maintained , cold shuts them right down
The next two are of my two criticals they are about 70 days and as you can see no pistals yet
The last is of my black domina it to is in bloom but stopped growing same age as critical.

Thoughts I guess this answers the question whats to cold to grow in 58-66 is lol, at least the bloom room is good its been 68 to 73 for a couple of days now with a RH of 33 to 49 ,
