it is what it is. If you're like me trying to survive what do you do. Heater is blasting and I have space heater at the intake and barley over 60. Under 50 I'll worry. Last power outage I got a little bud rot on one ripe plant..

I can't get it above 20-21 c

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Lower temps overnight, depends on stage of growth.
for youngins I don’t like it below 65.
for flowers. It can drop into mid 50’s. That’s what brings out the colours.

I got 2 seedlings that are 2 weeks today. I can't get the tent above 20-21c

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

They will grow, but slower than optimal.
get a heat mat. Or plug in a space heater.
more about keeping soil temps warm.

20-21c is with a space heater

With a space heater?
Try a seed mat.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Is your tent in an insulated room?

 

[Adam626]

Is your tent in an insulated room?

It's in the basement

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Are you running intake/out fans?

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Type of lighting used?
What’s your basement temp?

 

[Dub_City405]

Just make sure it doesnt fluctuate 10 degrees lower than what it gets when lights are on.

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

The tough answer would be to insulate your basement. Really hard to control tent temperatures if lung room temps fluctuate
control the lung, control the tent.

 

[Adam626]

Are you running intake/out fans?

I'm running
1000w hid light with 6inch inline fan for cooling
Base temp is around 17c
Also running a inch inline fan for exhaust everything is run with timmers

 

[Adam626]

Just make sure it doesnt fluctuate 10 degrees lower than what it gets when lights are on.

So if it was at 27 let's say. Dont let it get to 17. Is that what u mean

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Dial the exhaust back if you can. Keep the warm air in.

 

[Dub_City405]

Yes. Dont let it drop that cold. If you were locked in the room 75 degrees all day and when you laid down for bed the temp got below 65 you wouldnt sleep you wouldnt rest youd go into shock.

That's a good way of putting it

I tried that qnd there was moisture build up on the walls of the tent.
