Temperature for autoflower(gelato,skittles)

Hey guys, my house stays pretty frosty because of the wife.
House stays around 72degrees.
My grow tent with the spider farmer on is sitting at 65degrees.
I recently put a lava lamp in for some extra heat and it’s gotten up to 68.
My seedlings popped 2 days ago.
Is this a sufficient temp or should I add a heating pad?

I have both going now and for me my temps are around 75 to 77 in a 4x4x8 with 2 tsl2000 and they seem to like it this is the zkittlez auto.

It’s fine I had Temps in the low 60s for the beginning of my spring grow , and while yes that stunts vegging a tiny bit, maintaining correct humidity is far more important

Yes they turn amber less thc !! Some take longer to turn. Mine were also ILGM other 4 were done in 12 weeks.

Get any type of lamp out of that tent. It causes stress and hermied plants.

I took it out yesterday because I didn’t like the idea of having a lamp in there to begin with. It was an imprecision which seemed to have work! Currently day 5 since pop!

I think I’ll try a heating pad wrapped in a towel.

Would maybe running a small fluorescent grow light work? :sweat_smile:

If you have an exhaust fan running - turn it off, will help keep tent warmer. I don’t start up my exhaust fan for a couple weeks after seeds sprouting and by then I can run some more watts on the lights to help with temps. I also run my light 24/0 for first week or 2 to keep them babies warm, very cold in my house as well, specially at night.
