I'm confused you live in the US and you are having heating issues in the middle of the summer (TO COLD)? That just does not seem wright. I know it is a basement and a basement never goes below 50' in the winter because it is submerged.

I am familiar with this because one of my first Apartments were a basement. You are going to have a 400 HPS running as well? Have you tried to run the light with out any plants under current conditions to see what temps do? There are a couple of things that do not sound wright.

You want to buy a humidifier? That would create more moisture in a damp basement... Well that is the issue with most basement grows Humidity. Did you mean a dehumidifier? You will definitely need a Temp and Humidity Gauge to test the area.

I would set up the lamp prior to even having plants just to see how conditions may change. IMO I think you will be battling all the normal issues everyone else is during the Hot Summer Heat. Unless your basement is 3 stories under ground..

Also keep in mind each plant lets out about a pint or more of water in the air a day!!! Unless your central air is on 60 I can not see that basement going below 75 when lights are on especially if the thermostat is upstairs..

Well Best of Luck Keep us Posted GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:
GreenLeaf420 Reviewed by GreenLeaf420 on . Strange problem I am growing in my basement and its quite cool down there all the time, i was wondering if anyone knew what a good strain to grow in a colder room was. I was thinking something like a purple strain because they need the cold for the color or something but anything proven to work in a cooler environment would be helpful. Rating: 5
