InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

[InTheShed]

The idea is to just warm the air with that mat, so you would need two if there's also one under the seedlings-
Blowing the heat down from the light/driver should work just as well, or better- I just don't have room for a fan up there...

I'll try it over the light when I get home and see what increase in temps I can get. Thanks for the whole heat mat idea!

I also turn the exhaust way down during lights out, so it sucks the heat out a little slower...this will also raise the temp 4 or 5 degrees in there..

I actually have the exhaust off and the tent sealed at this point. As they get bigger I'll figure out when to get the exhaust (intake) fan going. I use positive pressure from the top to suck warmer air in and push it out the bottom flaps.

I had to read back to see what I missed, and I can't find it! If you have a heat mat, why can't you use it under? Add a towel to soften the heat it needed?

I have a heat mat and thermostat for seedlings and clones that sits on the desk in my home office. I find it doesn't work all that well to evenly heat solo cups given the difference in height from bottom to top though. For a single cup it's helpful to stand it on end and make a circle out of it for a makeshift sauna though.

I don't recall TWa finishing fast? I suppose training will slow things down, but that much veg for the PC? Is your tent big enough to flower her after that?

My TWa came in at 94 days but I believe is supposed to be shorter than that. I think I've asked Justin what he's found but I can't recall what he said now.

As I sit here and Medicate... I realized i probably should have asked how long TWa flowers, and ask the size of your tent, instead of typing all that!

The tent is 2x4x6 and I've never vegged a photoperiod plant in there before. I was planning on topping and training like I do outside, but possibly not giving it as much light as the auto will get. Maybe some window screen to cut the lux on that side of the Mars bar.

If you want assistance in slowing down veg growth, I have suggestions.

Lay it on me MedSci!

You could wrap the cup with a towel, or cut a hole in one of your boxes to hold cup, on the mat?

I stalled my girls that I started last February by low light coupled with 25% nutes. You can also slow things down by pinching just below the Tops, Defoliation, and you already plan on topping.

But if you are talking 94 days? I REALLY look forward to THIS!

Initial smoke report from my wife on the still slightly green The Wizard auto (@Justin Goody):

"Just had some TWa through a clean bong and it's very heady and happy. Lightest I've felt in a week!"

It's going to be one for the tent this winter, and maybe I'll drop two.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got going on.

Omg that has to be the most ℹ depth smoke report I’ve ever heard from your Crew. I may have to investigate this one myself but then again I don’t do auto’s. Wishing you n yours all the best Shedster. CL.

 

[smokesbetter]

Well for one you can't turn the light down and expect the Wizard to get on with a quick grow >> Shed whats your light schedule going to be ? When i was growing autos it was 4/20

 

[KeithLemon]

Is that 20 on 4 off? I ask because I will be growing an auto around January and have never grown inside before.

 

[InTheShed]

With the light at 100w, the tent has been mid 70s overnight and and high 70s during the day, so I haven't tried the heat mat with a lower wattage yet. Still might to save on the electric bill.

Thank you MedSci! I'll try the lower light levels on that side of the tent but not sure how happy it'll be at 25% strength nutes. Worth a shot though if it looks to be a fast grower. And I recall @Carcass pinching his leaders to keep them from growing into the light as well.

But if you are talking 94 days? I REALLY look forward to THIS!

LOL me too!

Har, thanks Captain.

I hear ya. It's really to keep me busy during the winter more than anything.

True, so I'd be keeping the high lux on The Wizard side and shading the Pellezino Cookies side when the time comes. It will be clearer when I show how I do it.

I tend to run my plants 24/0 when they're outside during the day/inside at night, but for these I may go to 20/4 once they start moving along.

Is that 20 on 4 off? I ask because I will be growing an auto around January and have never grown inside before.

Most indoor grows tend to be 20/4 or 18/6, autos or photos. Some of that choice depends on the cost of electricity.

I hear ya. It's really to keep me busy during the winter more than anything.

And, it gives you something to focus on other than the crappy weather...

I hope it keeps you entertained throughout the winter and you have better success with .it then previous attempts. CL.

So far it's been blue skies and cool and sunny this fall, but the nights are definitely getting colder. I'm ready for rain though and hope we get enough.

That said, if we're building snowmen in Los Angeles it's time for me to move further south!

Thanks Captain! Entertained would be great but I'll be happy with busy. And with the new canola spray for PM I'm hoping to keep these happier than last winter's plants.

We got 4” of the white stuff yesterday and it’s not even December yet. And now with the stupid daylight savings it’s dark before 5:00 PM. Whoever invented it should be fired from whatever job they do. Smh I have the feeling it’s going to be a long winter CL

You shut your whore mouth Captain. JK Don't jinx us like that. I despise winter time. I don't have it nearly as bad as you folks up north do. I don't know how you guys and gals deal with the cold and snow.

Great to see you around lately Captain. Have you been growing any shrooms?

No, I still have a nice supply of dried mushrooms . But I’m getting a little bored with not growing anything. I might start something new next year. And the cold is out of my control so I try not to go outside and not think about it. CL.

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

I despise winter time.

Santa!?

 

[Ramblinrose1965]

Santa!?

Santa is headed for the beach on December 26th.

 

[smokesbetter]

Yeah Keith what shed said they suggest 20 on 4 off or 18/6 same order . sounds like you got it figured out Shed had forgot you had 2 lights in the tent DUH>
I just wish the wind machine would take a break 10-25 with 40 gust sucks in this old house brings it around 28/ 38 day , it starting to warm though if you want to call 50 F warm

Grey and drizzly Saturday update of the winter grow: here is proof of life on day 5 for The Wizard auto and Pellezino Cookies.

Not much to see other than the second set of leaves emerging on TWa, but that's gotta count for something!

Have a wonderful weekend all.

I'm dreaming of a white Thanksgiving? That's not a thing. And I am 100% in favor of keeping daylight savings time all year. I'm still messed up with the early darkness even two weeks after we went back to standard time. :grrr:

Yeah...grow something Captain! We need to see that peaked-roof tent in action again (or at least the leather jacket).

Santa is headed for the beach on December 26th.

That's some fat doobie Santa has going on...must be hanging in Jamaica!

Yeah Keith what shed said they suggest 20 on 4 off or 18/6 same order . sounds like you got it figured out Shed had forgot you had 2 lights in the tent DUH>

Just the one light in there (the Mars Hydro SP250). I do have two smaller ones I could run side by side, but unless I get a big height difference I can't compensate for I'm going to stick with the 250.

I just wish the wind machine would take a break 10-25 with 40 gust sucks in this old house brings it around 28/ 38 day , it starting to warm though if you want to call 50 F warm

Damn I didn't realize you were getting storms there now. Batten down the hatches and keep Toto close by.
