think I’ve almost reached my desired temps though humidity is still a little low I suspect that won’t be too much of an issue as crawl space starts to equalize it’s current temp is 65f rh 55% my spaces temp 77f 39 rh once my ladies are in their larger pots in a few more days the RH will raise they are starting a 20/4 schedule today and my third space and light is not far off so over all temps will jump slightly but extraction is turned way down and outside temps are pretty warm as it gets more seasonal will need extra warmth of third light root growth has been awesome love myco gave them 1/4 dose rapid start with 1/4 dose kick start 5-8-5 top growth should start to pick up from first feeding

2 weeks from seed and enjoying a little drink this morning will be getting transplanted after work today roots are starting to come out bottom of pots. Node spacing is nice an tight lost track of which were blue berry and which is green crack will be easy to figure out later and both strains have same time lines so little difference. Temps are acceptable rh is a bit low but they are looking otherwise healthy aside from wanting more space for roots

They look happy lmao :sunglasses::four_leaf_clover: all perky

Temps and humidity are being a pain in the arse trying to get a happy medium below 0 outside so ambient is 61f 46% in my space it fluctuates from 66f 60% to 86F 22% as the plants get bigger and I get them into smart pots rh will be easier to control but the temps will start to get far colder soon so I will need to start trouble shooting my temps fast

What is surrounding it? Can your structure handle some dirt piled on it? The dirt should help keep it cool kinda like a cave

cool is not a problem trick iis to keep it warm while still having decent humidity it’s a crawl space cooling is just a matter of leaving door slightly open or turning exhaust up I need warmth with a tolerable humidity. should be finished my work season by the end of next week so will have time to generate alternatives this is partially a guide and a realistic journal of my current grow adversity is the mother of invention

Get some insulation and wrap the outside and push up little dirt. You could get a small fish tank and heater to put there to add heat and humidity. It could also be a pan that is deep enough to cover the heater to take up less space

lol the space is made out of 3" roofmate R-16 has 400w mh in a 2x4x4 plenty of heat as I said humidity is too low even with humidifier running. With exhaust turned down temps get to high 80’s but humidity drops with temp rise

Ok so heat not prob. What about making a swamp cooler it’s like a humidifier? Sorry I have tons of weird ways of rigging things. Too many years rebuilding houses and such

I considered that but my space is comprised of 2 rooms/growing chambers same size both with lights since my second space is unoccupied I run the light simply to keep my power draw from spiking with the utility company and to heat space when dark cycle so air is drawn from 24hr lit space to 20/4 veg space. Within next couple weeks 3rd space will be up and running cloning and mother space the concept is quite simple will be running 2 flower rooms on flip flop monthly harvest schedule rightnow since my biomass is small and starting mothers humidity is low but since I am month or more off of cloning I have to deal with humidity short term. I will have around 20 plants min at any point in time in DWC this is just the starting phase :wink:

the swamp cooler idea would work…dry ice may do it for you as well and also release some o2

Costly route to dry ice could get couple more humidifiers for same price, I suspect problem is going to sort itself out within few more days. My ladies have recovered from first transplant and are taking off temps are mid 70’s rh 44% as they get bigger rh will increase they have officially started their veg phase now so will put on size very fast 15 days then final transplant will have their new home finished by then and the 5 gal smart pots will add to humidity.

I had to laugh when you said you lost track of which is which cuz I just harvested two unknowns LMAO! :v:
