failing to plan is planning to fail

I realized another issue has arrived all because i jumped into a new hobby without planning things out. it gets colder in my grow room then i would like at night because i didn't think ahead and picked a poorly insulated exterior room which has NO outlets with ground prongs.

sorry about that i had to voice my frustration!!!

but the temp in my flower closet is the problem and the easiest solution i came up with was to have the windows blacked out and change the light cycle so the lights come on at night. I only have a two bulb 2700 kelvin shop light but they do seem to raise the temp during the day so im hoping so at night too. But if not i have a back up plan also... a Heat lamp. But i will post some pics why i dont like that idea either.
NOW my question! Do I just keep the lights on all day and all night or jump right to keeping them off all day and on at night or slowy adjust my light cycle the way i have been doing. the reason why i ask now is cause i already have one plant in the closet now for 7 days and plan to put one more in today and another in one week segments till i find a male and so i can breed him with my top girl. so if i leave the lights on all day and all night i might shock or mess up the one plant some how if at all... but its my best plant!

any insight would be greatly appreciated.

PS if you stick around till my phone charges i will take pics of my set up and explain my half as plan and my new plan once i get some money.

If making light schedule changes?

add dark time during flowering

add light time during vegging

IMO...:pimp:

sounds like you need to read about how to grow indoors and set up a proper grow area before you start your breeding project .clone that girl you like and you can always breed her 4 or 5 years later.BTW don't use the heat lamp, save your pennies and buy a small ceramic heater with a built in thermostat and some foam insulation panels from LOWES or HOMEDEPOT

funny you mentioned about the reading about indoor growing. I started two months late but haven't stopped learning since then... my wife thinks im addicted cause i cant put the computer down. I have phone pics as soon as i figure out how to post them

it wasn't 20 minutes after clamped that damn thing down when this happened. I went down stairs to clean up my mess after a transplant smelled smoke and found the light laying against the lower shelf. there was no flames thank God but there was some red hot coals spreading and when i dumped the water on it in a panic the ashes dripped on the side light and all over my new widows. that was my second of three heartbreaks in the matter of two months

EEWWWWWW...

You got luuuuuucky!

BTW the "failing to plan is planning to fail" kinda reminded me of something my old man always said. The 6 P's as he would say.

Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

No angst here, just agreeing with your thread title :D
