Quick question for anyone who may know....

I am in my 4th week of flowering and having trouble keeping the grow room WARM when the lights are off! I noticed there are alot of posts regarding problems with HEAT....but not with COLD!! HELP! :(

Anyone know what temp. I should be shooting for during the flowering stage? I know having a room too cold may lower my yield....correct? While my 1000wHPS is up and running on a 12/12 cycle, the room pretty much stays between 74-78 degrees F. But during the day it must get down to the 60's...ugh!

Any suggestions? Anyone used a type of space heater in their room? How hot/cold should I be looking for ....close to 3-4 weeks to go and I wanta get the most out of my 5 beauties that I can... :thumbsup:

Thanks in advance,
gardbud1 :pimp:

I USE A DIGITAL CERAMIC HEATER FROM RITE-AID. COST $24 USD. I SET IT FOR 75 DEGREES, AND IT DOES A VERY GOOD JOB. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS, IF YOU LOSE POWER, IT DOESNT RESET ITS SELF. THAT HAPPENED ONCE SO FAR. BUT ITS A VERY CHEAP WAY TO HEAT. GOOD LUCK

Hey fellow Growers....
Thanks for the replies! Glad to know I'm not alone in this "wintery" weather! Went out and bought a ceramic heater as well tonight....we'll see if it makes the difference I'm hoping for...

Any idea what the "ideal" temp should be for flowering stage? I'm about half way thru...

Let me know...

Hey FukingA...

Thanks for the info....we'll see what happens! Any idea anyone on how much 5 ladies of SK#1 X NL will yield? They're about 5 ft. tall now, 4 weeks into flowering. Just curious as to how much 1 plant can yield....1/2 pound each? Sure looks like it!

Appreciate the responses...gl to all! :pimp:
