Hi all -

Looking for advise here - middle of week 3 (Veg.) and my lamp broke. New one is on the way but I'm worried about my clients project. Hydro box, drip feed. Hydroton, Co2, air pump...

With no lamp to provide heat the inside temp. of the box is about 77F. The plants have been in dark for 2 days now and look ok... but the leaves are starting to close up a bit - moving closer to the main stem.

I'm hoping to have the new lamp by tomorrow, but then it was supposed to be here today. My real question is - how long can I hope for these plants to remain healthy without a lamp for light. No sun outside to let into the box, either. ALSO - do you think I should add a heating pad or something under the reservoir to warm it up a bit? Normal temp in the box is easily 10 degrees higher - when lights working as normal.

Hoping for some advise - 2nd grow ever and the client is worried I'll have to start again.

Thanks all - mrmcr2
