ya im thinking they are cold at night...I think he' more concerned about your lights off temps.
You can also reverse the day and night temps to get tlghter nodes.higher dark temp and cooler during business hours.been doing it this way a while.than after the nodes are built and stretch is over start to bring night temps down for trich and terp productiinbtw,, a little shit i learned.. on accident but i used it to my benefit, and now part of my staple. You can use water temps, going cold, to slow stretch, if for some reason you need to.. Just kind of cool to be able to dictate the plants growth.. Prob a real fine line.. I hit 51 degrees overnight before I got the heaters in there..
thats pretty cool too! I never flipped them like that. I might try that out..You can also reverse the day and night temps to get tlghter nodes.higher dark temp and cooler during business hours.been doing it this way a while.than after the nodes are built and stretch is over start to bring night temps down for trich and terp productiin

I know them 100 watt cfl put out some heat too..
Now if he took it all out the box and put the lights 18" above them, then he could use all 3 lights.. in that box, with the door shut would be death before long..
I bet he put them thru a day/night of heat while figuring it out to...
OP,,
Here is some pro advice..
IN FLOWER
Its better to reduce your light to keep canopy temps good than trying to use to much light thinking that will decide your yield..
While it is true, light does equate to more yield, it most deff isnt the only decider, as temp, and rh play a very big role too.. Temp can make buds foxtail.
Why you may think every thing looks great, till last 2 weeks and your buds begin to stretch and look shitty.
So more light isnt always better, unless you can have control over the room. That can require AC, Heat, dehumidifier, and a humidor.. As well as a controller to align everything..
With out that stuff, it can get difficult. Not impossible, but much harder...
And the plant may bitch a little as she is now :)
thats pretty cool too! I never flipped them like that. I might try that out..
yes cfl are junk. But i mean i know we are using what you got so it is what it is,18” above the plant? Don’t these crappy CFLs need to be a lot closer than that? Others were telling me they are already too far, and should be inches from the plant??
Of course, if/when I ditch this box I should probably upgrade to something other than CFLs I imagine eh?
Thanks for the rest of the wisdom. If I even make it to flower, I’ll keep this all in mind lol
only closer in flower and then its gonna cause serious foxtailing.. oh ya i post my pics of my momsYep, I’ve read about that. Great tip. My nodes are already literally an inch apart, some less, so I think I’m doing good there. I assumed this is because I have my lights about 6 inches away (although people say they should be even closer)
only closer in flower and then its gonna cause serious foxtailing.. oh ya i post my pics of my moms
im gonna post them here in a sec as soon as I pry my phone back from my grand son lol..How do I see your pics? I don’t see any link anywhere.
yes cfl are junk. But i mean i know we are using what you got so it is what it is,
What kind of light depends on your budget and your intelligence level
I promise you bro, you will succeed. Might want to cancel your trips after this for a few weeks...I have the budget, and I promise my intelligence level is higher than this thread may indicate. Sorry for getting “pissy” earlier, I’m just frustrated.
I had no idea this was going to be so much work (supercloset makes it sound so easy) and I’m going out of town on Monday for the week. I’ve just spent soooo much time researching everything, and now I’m probably gonna lose my plant, so I’m just super disappointed right now.
But if I do I’ll just chalk it up to a learning experience and start over with everything I’ve learned from you guys.
Dont worry, im not judging, or even assuming..I have the budget, and I promise my intelligence level is higher than this thread may indicate. Sorry for getting “pissy” earlier, I’m just frustrated.

Well you need to understand that I run c02 and so I have to run higher temps. You cant run the temps I do.Yep, no trips for a few months after this so I’m golden.
I read in one of your threads that you want your tent temps to be 84 lights on and 78 lights off? I’m already thinking about moving to a tent (or even just open in the small room)
Well let me think on that till tomm night..Thanks. I’m going to stick to autos until my first successful grow.
Got it on the co2. I’ll wait on that until I have at least 1 successful grow under my belt. No need to complicate things now.
I seriously think I’m just going to ditch the box, fix the room temp to 76, put the res on the floor with lights above, and try that on the next round. Probably either change to a larger res while I’m at it, or add a 2nd res that circulates with this one.
If all I want to do is grow 1 auto at a time that will yield at least a few ounces, is that what you would recommend given my room/setup, or something else?
Thanks!
Smartest shit u said all night.listen to what event is saying man.and stop saying what other people said or are saying. there is alot of misinformation on the net.A dude yesterday said you can reverse a male im like wtf.you got 2 seasoned growers here giving u advice.and I rarely give shit so that' s alot.me and him run under current dwc.his was bought I built mine cause I don' like a few things they do so I changed it.plus I can space my stuff out how I want and I feel like mine flows a little better with the way I designed it.plus there filter location sucks if you run scrogs.Thanks.
