Night time temps?
Hey guys.
Well, I just popped a couple of bagseeds, and have them under a few 27w soft white CFLs, but now I'm finding I have a little dilemma. I live in a very cold climate, and the closet where I have my setup doesn't have a heat vent, so it gets very cool in there, especially at night (like 45-50 degrees F). I have the lights on 24/7 right now, and I think that's been keeping my babies warm enough, but I'm afraid to switch to 18/6 because I'm thinking that'd be too damn cold during those 6 hours of darkness, even if I set up the dark period during daytime hours.
So... how important are those 6 hours of darkness? Would it be detrimental to keep the lights on 24/7 throughout the vegetative stage? How much damage would temps that low do to my plants? Hopefully I'll be able to buy a little space heater or something by the time I have to throw them into 12/12... I'll worry about that when I get there.
Anyway, thanks for reading my post. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.afghooey Reviewed by afghooey on . Night time temps? Hey guys.
