Haven't seen hail like that in a while, I've seen hail shred plants before and it's pretty gut wrenching when all you can do is standby while your butt checks clench onto that toilet roll at every strike.... 
I'm sitting on the stoep and my fox terrier cross and mini sausage dog are curled up on my lap and we all under a cozy blanket smoking a nice joint and sipping on a coffee, winter is def coming now...

When Doc Bud first posted his bud-washing technique he said to use hot water, but that's fallen out of favor, so the recommendation now is warm or just what comes out of the tap (when it's not freezing out!).

Hectic weather. All is well. Herbs took a real beating but all is well.
My temperature dropped to 17 with lights off and is now 19.8 when lights on so looks promising

I had not heard of washing a harvest before I joined 420 here. Been doing it ever since
I use the baking soda and lemon juice in hot water then a rinse in warm water and then cold water.
Never had a problem with any loss of flavour or strength

Hot is probably okay, but when Lerugged added the "not boiling" to his description I was concerned that he might be using pretty high temps (just not boiling 
).
).
Yes as hot as what comes out the tap.

So last night it was really cold. We were 9°c and the tent was at 15.9°c at the time lights just turned on. I have no placed the inner of the exhaust onside of the tent to block a bit of air and hopefully make the tent warmer. After 20 min I definitely felt a difference so I left it over night. Unfortunately my bed was way to comfortably this morning and I over slept to see the temperature this morning 
Now the humidity was high cause it was raining the whole day.
I am definitely thinking I should either do way more LST or defoliate... I am not sure....
Hope I get this temreture issue sorted soon

Raise the temps and the humidity drops. That's why it's called "relative" humidity, because it's relative to the ambient temperature.

That's really interesting! Still have your rice idea in mind
Spend your money on a heater! You will be constantly baking that rice to drive out the moisture for re-use.
Maybe you could heat the tent with hot rice!

Dude how do you come up with these ideas

It is an interesting idea. I wonder how long it will keep the heat. I guess in a ceramic bowl it's a possibility and let the heat radiate... Very intriguing idea

I do have one but I'm scared that the leccy will be sky high.
In my thread there was a discussion of using the stacked clay pot candle heaters but with a heat lamp, like the kind you get for a lizard enclosure. They come in various wattages and you could stack the clay pots over that. Just another possible method.
I have no idea how much heat they put out though. I was thinking about filling a 5 gallon metal can with boiling water, putting a lid on it, and then pointing a fan at it.

You could just heat with the ceramic heat lamp as is. Get a basking lamp as big as you can. No light just heat . Very efficient. Used them for my lizards for years.
Basking lamps produce absolutely zero light? Because the only time heat would be needed would be during lights out.
And I'm sure they don't make one big enough to heat my shed, but maybe DK's tent!

This is a very interesting idea. I just watched a video on the one with candles and I am really impressed! How would you prevent light issues with a heat lamp?
This might be over simplifying but how about wrapping blankets or something around the outside of the tent. Keep the warmth in there. An hps as well perhaps as supplementary light
