To much light during veg?

@Rev

How does that ceramic heater work? Does it do a good job?

It works great, put the clamp and shield on the top with bulb, fan circulating and it keeps it a prefect temp. I couldn’t be happier. I did not have room for the heater on the floor.

I assume you have it in the tent? Is it just pointing at the plant or just in there in general?

Maybe a pic? It looks like it has a thermostat attached?

Sorry for the questions, but I may need something to supplement the heat at night, I just don’t want it to kill my electricity bill…

I will take a pic in a few. Yes in a tent but at top. I have 2 tents. The pic I posted cane with that thermostat which is pretty cool. It allows me to check temps in 2 sections. I have the humidity/ thermostat at the base of the plants

When running full spectrum the LEDS give off enough heat on there own. My tents run 68-77°F. With just the one 100w ceramic and the fan. Remember I’m a newbie and doing a lot of experimenting this run. One tent is getting ready to be out in flower. Other one is behind by a month.

I just wanted to check back to see how the ceramic lamp is helping with the heat?

With my lights on during the day I’m at like 72-77 degrees, at night it dips real low, like in the 50’s. My tent is 32"x32"x60". Do you think the lamp would keep it around 68 in there at night from your experience?

Also are you running a fan with negative pressure when the heat is on?

Ok. Just added exhaust fan/filter to outside the tent this week so experimenting. Yes the lamp will keep heat at 65-68 i feel with a small fan running on inside.

Generally, this formular is what most pro growers use for indoor grow 18/6: 18 hrs of light and 6 hrs of darkness per day. Some specifics like the strain and geolocation could even be more significant for insightful contributions.

they look good @Rev

I had to put a piece of black tape over the on off switch. You don’t want any light at all when the lights are off leaking into the tent. Just check when lights are off and see if you have any light coming from heater.

Hit day 60 of flower today… crunch time. Most of my ladies supposedly flower 60-65 days. One maybe 70. Not seeing much of any amber but I did get a gift from my lemon OG haze. It gave me white tips from which I found through research rocks. Local store said the white tips are going for a lot of money in Cali. just for a gram. No selling here… my enjoyment (and friends) …
