Peyton's Holy Grail Kush - Flux - Hempy - Mars II 400

What type of heater are you planning on,an oil filled radiator would be pretty efficient.
It's good to hear the Broncos are doing you proud, I tried to watch a game last week but I couldn't get into it. It's too much stop start for me & I don't understand the rules. The game had 45 seconds to go & one side called a break, what's that about? It baffles me :)
We won 2 out of 3, just got beat by last seasons champions then there's been an international break where they go & play for their countries. Three have come back injured which isn't ideal but I think we'll cope. The new guys are gelling well & the future looks bright :) We play in the European Champions League on Tuesday night & I'm really excited about that :)

I would like to get an oil filled heater, I'll just have to price them first. I know the tiny space heater of mine that broke was 1100 to 1500 watts depending on setting, which is way too much on the power bill for a winter grow. Especially since winter is from November to April here.
We're like you, we hate when they call all this timeouts in the game. One team tries to run the clock down, the other calls timeout to make some last ditch effort to score. There are a lot of commercials during our football games. Takes about 3 hours to play a 60 minute game, and that's too much for me. Especially with 3 game slots on Sunday. But it does give me something to watch all day Sunday. Good luck in the European championship league. Hopefully you get some of them injured guys back soon.
 
+1
1st they be the safest heater around
2nd they are cheap , that one Italian one Longini ?(sp) will last 20years
3rd they moderate the heat very well & even on lowest setting will sitt give an even low heat without swings
IE;they don't keep switching off & on
BUT in a small tent they might be over kill & take up TOO much space
try a 25 watt incandescent in a porcelain fixture (the ceramic acts as a heat sink ) on a temp switch place the blub in a fan draft to spread the warm evenly

I don't have a tent. I use my garage, and have a 4x4 room built in there for flower and my veg space is pretty much just out in the open next to it in garage. Hell, I'd I can just heat the flower room I'd be fine cause I can probably veg plants in the house as long as they aren't monsters like my PC is. Definitely gonna check those out though
 
you got gas in the house ?
 
Yeah, heater and water heater run on propane
buy the smallest propane water heater you can find , an old car rad will work , but all so will many A/C cooler coils things like that can be geattoed into a heat transfer unit much like a radiator add a fan to that rad boom ya got a closed loop heat hot water system add a temp control & a small circulating pump , the money you save in propane over electric is huge ,
I'd look for long term solution fast : single oil heater in a garage is gonna cost a lot if you use electric power
how it works is the hot water heater is kept at it's lowest temp like 120 F when the room temp switch signals the need for heat it opens & turns on the pump & rad fan then hot 120F water is pumped into the rad , when the room reaches temp the switch is closed the pump stops as well the fan

much like a water cooled gamer P/C works if you've ever seen one
 
I wish I could do that. Unfortunately my garage isn't attached to house. Garage is about 75 feet away. I've been looking at personal space heaters that run on 200 watts. Since my space is enclosed for flower, that could work in there. Then for veg I can probably just leave my fans off and actually seal my veg space. Of course I'll have to run it by the ol lady, but that should be fine. I'm making her dad's meds, so she's been working with me a little better now.
 
get a small propane bottle & a radiant heater
heck I've seen guys use kerosene forced air space heaters on a temp switch in greenhouses :allgood:
 
I can't risk it with propane. We got snowed in last year a couple times, and if I run out of propane and get stuck, my plants will all die. Probably gonna have to stick with electric unfortunately. And it's a little over 2 bucks a gallon for propane here. Can't catch a break on anything out here. In a few years we'll be building a new house here, and I know I'll be planning a private grow area in it. Gonna be a grower forever, so gotta plan for it. Just gotta make it through my first winter grow. If not I'll be back to growing one plant at a time in tiny closet during winter, which will work if I stock up this harvest. Pssssh, easier said than done lol
 
yeah ,
with proper planning you can grow anywhere , I'm a DIY'er but plan & test all long the way , I built a Greenhouse on the side of my place southern exposure but I live in Cali so no snow for me , I used to live in Alaska ,never gonna live with the Frozen white stuff again L O L
 
I'd love to diy myself a greenhouse this spring. But I feel you on the snow. I'd love to live somewhere where it didn't get so bad in the winter. Alaska would just be horrible no matter what. I do love the weather in Seattle, so might go there someday. If they legalize it throughout the country it would be a lot easier to plan for. I'm sure collectively we'll get my hot/cold situation under control.
 
We had our first snow yesterday. I have an unattached garage and I was going to get a bigger tent and grow in there but no water or heating. I had a guy tell me to run all green lights because it doesn't affect the plants, but as cold as Denver area gets the green Christmas lights wouldn't be near enough heat. I'm curious to see how you solve your dilemma because I could grow up to 12 plants legally out there.

built my G/H outta recycled patio door glass panel that I got from the glass companies as they therow out the old patio doors , I look for dbl pane ones & then take the AL frames off & then mounted the dbl pane into a 2 x 6 framed walls the roof is dbl wall polycarb , it has a wall furnace (gas), sink & hot water, swampcooler , was built for orchids I have used it for succulents , tropicals , rare african plants I was a successful Fleabay seller for awhile till the accident (rearended by a semi @ work) 4 years ago been disabled since ( concussive syndrome )
I collected recycle construction materials for a year before me & my Dad built the the thing 22 x 32 attached to south exposure to the house with a house foundation , to the City it is a sunroom as in a conservatory do not ever call the building a greenhouse when getting a permit build as a sunroom & then convert over the heat / water after the paper work is signed off .
 
Alrighty. So me and my buddy went to the discount stores where I live and got more socket splitters and a small space heater for garage. After about 30 minutes my flower room went from 63 to 72 degrees and humidity went from 68 to 45 percent. And now I have 250 actual watts of CFL in veg space, 150 over pc and 100 over my clones. So excited to be able to beat the cold and drop rh. Nothing but good vibes over here
 
Sucks to hear that about Liverpool. They've still got plenty of time to pull it together, but they need to start winning those games. Especially at home.
 
Checked on girls tonight. HGK Flux is looking good, slowly getting bigger buds on her. SB looks like it grew another inch or two, and the HGK clone has grown quite a bit since raising the temp and lowering humidity. She's now as tall as SB is. She's been flowering for a few weeks, so not sure why she suddenly stretched.

Got my seeds in today. The freebie they exchanged for me turned out to be a fem auto delicious cotton candy. Excited to see how that grows cause I didn't know they made that into an auto. Couldn't find it on herbies site
 
I got some free fem'd AK ryder & fem'd auto amnisia from Herbies & not all the pheno's were the same
