-20 c. cannabis

[Taje]

well I live in finland and got a problem I cant really grow in my house cuz its a real small flat and I was thinkin about growin in my garage in the winter.
It may sound weird when it can get to as much as -20 in the winter but do you experts belive it can be done ?
I was thinkin of using a small closet with 2-4 lowryder 2s.
a 6x50 watt tube system and a 2 warm air ventilation fans
and some other heating system and a couple of carpets thrown over the whole thing.
Anyone belive this could work ?imp:

research strains that are adaptable to cold/frost resistant. i know there's a russian ruderalis that for obvious reasons would be ideal to a colder climate.

PS. In my browsing of seeds I also remember seeing a hymilian (sp?) strain adapted to colder moutainious regions and higher altitudes... They do exist. Your not going to want to grow a tropical oxacan type strain or similar. If you can manage ambient temps during dark cycles i wouldnt be as concerned with light cycles - since the lamp itself will also throw off heat. good luck:thumbsup:

Have a few more plants, use a 600w HPS, and that bugger should kick out enough heat to keep it warm...

I've been to Finland, amazing place. I went to a place called Yllas in Lapland...

mkey but when i grow lowryders I should grow them under 18/6 light hours so the bugger cant give of the warmth when its of... looks like a problem, anybody know what to do ?

build the box put the light in run it as you would and check the temp before the light is due to come back on. if you insulate well i reckon you could grow most strains mine sits around 26 deg c with light on and around 24 with light off thats with my windows open and at the mo outside is around 0 deg at night ( i leave that cupboard open most of the time as i need a new output fan).
