Ive got my indoor grow in the garage and had flipped my kush back in december.
With this midwestern cold snap and storm i had to move my grow inside to maintain temps in a suitable temp (since my ac infinity heater wasnt maintaining 75 and was going down to the 60s).
My dumb ass didnt update the ibdoor tent timer to 12/12 or 10/14 and kept it at 18/6 since i normally have my seedlings and veg on it.
Its been about 5 days now before i realized it and hope i didnt shock it back to veg or potentially cause any damage.
Does anyone happen to have any thoughts or inputs for this since i was already into week 6-7 of flowering?
FYI not sure where you have your heat box but my dumb asd put it on the floor where it drops to 62 in the basement. Placed it on top of tent where heat was 70. System back to 85 and under control.
I accidentally pushed in a couple of pins on an analog timer last year without noticing.(lesson learned, now it’s digital). I started seeing a small temperature increase in the trend line during the dark cycle. It was heat coming from the lights! I ran a week with an hour of light right in the middle of the dark cycle! But the plants (photoperiod GG4) didn’t show any signs of herming. I give credit to strong genetics. I hope yours are ok as well.
Speaking of lights and heat, do you run your dark cycle during the day or night? When I grew in my garage, I would turn the lights on at night versus day. The added heat from the lights would supplement the heater and offset the cooler nighttime temperatures. But your mileage may vary.
Yes. Lights on during the coldest time (nights).
Garage faces afternoon sun (if any).
2000-1100 for one and 1400-0800 for the second.
Flip soon to 1000/2200 and 2200/1000
No heater (circuits fully loaded
Lights are HLGs (no heat) and china cheapies (heaters).
Dehumidifier adds some heat
Nice! And I understand being circuit limited. I had extension cords running everywhere in my garage. The biggest problem was keeping up during those single digit Ohio nights. Happy growing!
Ouch.
I have been a wintered resident of IL, UT, LA, SD, TN, CA, ARK, and WA.
Don’t have long underwear, anymore.
Been winter phobic since Okinawa Japan (equator?).
Stay warm.
Generator on standby, I hope.
