700W LED - Auto Topping Grow - 2 Plants

Five - put lights on at night to keep temps up and they cost less to use during night time as well. Nothing wrong with airy buds as it means less chance of mould. Dense nugs are good but sometimes we have to make do with what we can get. My outdoor girls produced extremely airy buds and very little weight. Am starting to see from my balcony plants how much weight i have missed on the outdoor ones but budrot was setting in so decided to chop early rather than lose more from letting them grow. My balcony ones were difficult to flush - 9L pots and took an age to get 7L of water passing through let alone 18L+. Since first flush leaves are yellowing nicely, some have died so picking them off a few at a time but the buds are now filling out, noticed this when i was away for 3 days. Calyxes have started to swell big time. Another flush tonight or tomorrow and cut around 24th. If still difficult to flush them may just give 2L of water every day for the next 5 days then stop watering.
 
Five to control my temps.just use my fans .open vents in tent or doors if needed.and open windows lol.i dont use any thermostats or anything like that .just use to my eyes to tell me all is ok with ladies;) works great for me and i get dense buds.but come late flower i am always checking my buds alot for any mold trying to set.as mold loves dense buds.but if u keep checking on them and give them love u will get huge dense nugs;)

Hi Five...:) :)

I use a thermostat outlet and a small personal space heater. I set the heater on a small concrete paver and place the thermostat near the plants.
If you type these terms into "the Bay" and "the Mart" online you will see the parts I use. The heater does not have a thermostat on it, but the receptacle with the thermostat can be used for heater and fan to control temps.

Thanks dude, I'll have a look for those you mentioned.
Might be a bit big to fit in my small space though.

Didn't think of putting the lights on at night instead lol, I had just set them on a similar sleep time to me.
Might be good to try and find a time where I'll still have some day with the lights on so I can do maintenance.

So far being doing about the same thing. Haven't had any mold yet which is good but thinking a more stable temp would keep the girls happier

Looking good beast, sorry for hijacking your thread but just thought I would let you know that I have started another journal and I am leaving the choice of seeds to all you great growers out there, the seeds with the most votes will be going into water for germ on Thursday night. The choice of seeds are in my new journal in my sig. Keep up the good work mate, am sure I will be asking for advice at some point and I will also put the auto's into your auto topping thread)))
