    Newbie lookin for some help

    I only really have the room to grow 2 maybe 3 plants. I am only interested in growing for my own personal use, and it looks like a fun hobby! :stoned:

    My main concern is my location of my proposed growroom. It's a small shed outside, it will have power and lighting for everything i need but i am worried the temp may drop quite low over the winter when lights are off. Is this a problem and if so what is the workaround?

    Thanks as always,

    If the temps drop down too low, you can always get a small space heater that has a thermometer built in for pretty cheap at wal-mart or lowes right now. Make sure you get one with a thermostat, otherwise it will be hell regulating temps. You won't need it to really keep the room 'warm' hell, letting it drop down to the 60s at night may even make your plants turn purple. :dance:

    What is the lowest temp they can handle without killing my lil babys?

    Generally they can get down into the 50's, but ideally you want them to be in the 60's when lights are out. The oil filled radiator type heaters work fairly well. If you get frost in the shed, then you will get damaged plants.

    True it is best to keep the night temps above 50f, but they shouldn't die unless you get below freezing. Another interesting thing about lower temperatures is the effect it has on pest growth. Mites, flies and mold reproduce slower in a cold room so control is easier.

    I wouldn't let it get below around 55-60 degrees minimum man, I'm not sure of an exact temperature though. It shouldn't die unless it freezes, but I wouldn't wanna push it.
