So Mand hows the smoke from the last crop:rasta: really potent? Anyways Mand thanks again for always dropping by and giving your son:p (shes already my cool grow mom:p ) some help Much love to Mand;) :thumbsup:
Hey Mand. You might want to look in to a small, wall mounted propane heater with a built in thermostat. I use one for the coldframe I keep my bonsai's in over the winter. I normally keep it around 35 degrees farenheit to keep the trees dormant, but not freezing, and it can get that area (7x7x12 ft) up to 60 or 70 on the coldest winter days if I need it to. It has a 10,000 btu output and will keep your room at pretty much any temp you want. It's safe for indoor use (as in, no CO problems) and a 20 or 30lb tank would probably last you a long time. It's made by a company called Procomm and I got it at a local shop called Northern Tool and Equipment. You can check out their website for info and see if there's a local dist in your area or a UK equivalent. Will also keep your lovely tush nice and toasty when you're out there doing your chores. And it only cost about $139.00, plus the cost of the tank which was about another $45 for the 30lb. The only downside I can think of is that it might actually raise the humidity in there since water vapor is a byproduct of using propane. Good in my case since we normally have very dry winters here.Quote:

I don't use MH anymore, but when I switch from flourescent tubes to HPS I start at about 18 inches with a fan. After about a week I will lower to about 12 to 14 inches.
I do this only because of the different light spectrum between the two. Trying to keep the stress to a minimum.
Sunny in the 60s here. Think I'll go out and enjoy the day.
Hello PP :) Well they did the same thing last time and the general concensus on here was "overwatering" and I had to agree with that because of the bad dampness and the fact that I quite likely had overwatered.
However this time PP, I can honestly say that isn't the problem, the room is dry and I have been carefull with the watering ;)
Hello Buk :) These aren't the "Widows" love, there for the next grow, should be about mid April when I start them.
These are a mix of sensi skunk#1 and sensi skunk, I haven't a clue which is which though because they got all mixed up :o
The last crop ? .......... it's pretty good, quite potent, I would say better than the one before but not the best I've ever grown, that place belongs to a single Afghani plant I grew a few years ago, an absolutely lovely plant and the bud was very very potent :)
Ah, at least you called me a "grow mum" and not a "grow granny" ;)
Tell you what Buk, there is nothing in this world to make you feel older than when you start being called "granny":o
Hello Bonsaiguy :) I used to use a little parafin (kerosine I think you may call it ) heater, but one time I ran out of parafin and finished the grow without any heat. Well I thought if I've done it once then I can do it again and save some money, so I did and I have.
However I really should look into providing a heat source.
I'm affraid our winters are very changable here they can go from being dry and mild one day to rain, frost, ice, snow, sunny, in absolutely any combonation the next day, you really don't know what it is going to do next love.
Hello Da1KrayzieThug :) You know my kids find it so funny when I tell them that there are a couple of young men wanting me to adopt them.
To them I'm just someone who "naggs" to much, they can't believe I was ever young and that some of the things I used to get up to would kinda put them in the shade a bit.
As for you taking over the growing ................... Oh with pleasure love, I'll just put my feet up and gladly leave it up to you :)
Hello HappySmoke :) I'm affraid the light stays where it is, I only move it when the plants start getting too close to it.
However that's how it is with my growing, it's very "rough and ready" also very basic and I don't have any real technical side to it:o
I honestly only know the basics, I once bought a tiny little book (about 50 pages long) called "Grow marujana in cool climates" and that really did become my grow bible ............... it's ever so basic ;)
Hmmmm "sunny and in the 60s", are you trying to make me envious ;) .................. I am, it's really totally freezing here today.
Well I have the house to myself for the next few days (one of my lads is staying at his girlfiends and the other is working away for a while).
It's lovely and quite here :), so I have rolled up three joints (two left now) , I'm going to break the seal on a fresh bottle of vodka and curl up on the sofa in a little while because one of my favourite films is on the telly at midnight "Theatre of Blood" with one of my all time favourite actors in it "Vincent Price" :). ........................... Hmmm it really doesn't get much better than this :)
Oh the plants :o , well there ok-ish, still kinda droopy ;)
Thankyou guys ......................... love mand xxx:)
Hello :) Just a quick update ................ the growth is going slowly due to the cold, if this cold spell continues I'm going to have to see about some heating.
The droopiness is still there, I suspect I won't get rid of it. However I have spotted the first boy, I will give it a day or so just to make sure ;)
As I said there's not much happening but I'll just add a couple of pics:)
love mand xxx:)
Looking great Mand :)
Poor boy.... he's gonna get it.
Again, I find my self super impressed by your super simple, yet super effective growing system. Aha! But you're getting a heater... next up, you'll be getting some CO2 generators... before you know it, you'll have 4 vertical cool tubes running in your room!
Ok, enough ramblings, just kidding,
Best Mand,
-turtle420 :cool:
.
:stoned: well you better get a heater mand,and as it is going to get worst pal, they say we are getting a cold snap from siberia, this morning when i went to work it was 9 below freezing and its getting worst they think it will last about a week so get yer winter woolies on hen, lol, and the theartre of blood that scared the shit outta me when i was 6 many many moons ago when they feed that actor robert something his poodles hahahah good stuff, anyway rap up well hen and as usual the grow is lookin good:stoned:
Hello Turtle :) I only said I might get one ;)
To be honest love, I really ought too, it's very cold out and when the light is off at night it must be quite chilly in there:o
Oh, and yes I'm itching to get the boys out of there, it's such a shame though as the boys always seem to be the biggest and most healthy of the plants:(
Hello Scobbie :) I'm wrapped up love that's for sure ;) , but it really does seem very cold I just can't warm up even in the house :o
Oh yes were they feed him his poodles in a pie :), I also like the bit when him out of Dads Army (captain Mannering) gets his head cut off whilst he's asleep................:)
I really like anything that has a dark humor about it :o
Thanks guys .......................love mand xxx:)
