Good morning Nick.April - out second ever harvest.
These are OG Kush
Everything in Grove Bags since. The monster sized cola has been sitting under my deskside table and caught a bit of sun so has lost some colour. The smaller nugs have been in Grove Bags in the dark and cool in cupboard in our bedroom which is always 25 degrees celsius. Perfect, maybe a touch dry but they grind with no effort which given my shoulder injury I’m very much in favour of!

Excellent looking buds my friend.
My order stuff looses it's nice color aswell.
But I don't keep it longer than a few months usually.
Between my circle and myself we get rid of it easily.
Might be a little different as 12 pounds takes time to smoke.
But we do our best.
RSO will help.
Stay safe

Sorry to detract from your flow and progress. You have an awesome grow shop going on. I combed through some pages, and may have missed it. I am totally curious about what you used for your floor to keep temps up. I see you used some kind of wire looped over the top of the floor.
Can you tell me a little about what it is? How you use it? How you tell when it's time to use it? How you control the power to it?
It's awesome to see you up and running again buddy. Nice build. I live in a cold climate and have hung it up for a bit. I am envisioning the future, and this cold floor issue is one I need to over come. It looks like you have it addressed, so I am totally intrigued with what you've done. Thank you.

I looked beginning here and Heaven Shores so maybe in Purple Pics? There was a picture of them outside the store, next to his car, Canadian Tyre maybe. They looked like a modular system he put under the floor tiles and then wired in to the mains.@Bill284

That floor heating post is from Thanksgiving last year. Is it floor warming day in North America as well!
@NickHardy
Not to muck up Bill's thread too much, but I live in the northern U.S. and yeah. If I was growing in a detached building without heat the issue would arise. Cold floors and cooler than optimal pots and soil would be an issue.
I have seen systems like this utilized in homes and thought it a wonderful idea to overcome the issue of cold floors. I looked on line and they are a little bit of an investment to acquire; nothing to detrimental. Growing in a detached building brings issues of their own maintaining a steady environment regarding temperature. Winter is one issue bringing cooler temps than wished for.
That system seems to be just what the doctor ordered. I have a 1000w HPS magnetic ballast for maintaining overall temps during the winter, but that floor can only get so warm. I am just trying to envision what the future outbuilding will need to stay steady through the year. We can experience temps as low as 4°f. I Maybe even lower, but I have only experienced one winter out here after moving.

hope your doing well buddy. The floor is framed with 2x8.
In-between the floor joists is R-22 Rockwool insulation.
On the bottom of the 2x8 is 6ml poly vapor barrier.
That’s under the entire VIVOHUT.
Then I framed the floor of the two grow rooms with 2x4' and 1x2 on top for a 2x6 frame.
I filled those with Rockwool, R 22.
Then over that I used double foil vapor barrier with R-4 value.
For a total of R-46.
I put plywood on top of the whole frame and ran heating cables over top.
110v heating system with a sensor and thermostat for control.
I put the sensor on the plywood and poured
an inch and a half of floor leveling cement over that.
Then I tiled the floor.
So R-40 under the floor walls are R-16 Rockwool then Aspenite then Tyvek house wrap then 3/4 foam board R-10 I think.
Then another layer of Tyvek wrap over the foam board.
The entire inside is wrapped in Double foil vapor insulation as well.
Roof/ ceiling is 2x4 with Rockwool and double foil vapor barrier.
Ice and water shield / rolled shingles then steel cover the roof.
There’s a 60 amp discount and full circuit panel/breakers supplying power to a VS400 a VS6500 and 2 @VIVOSUN Grow hubs and C02 system.
Full workbench and storage outside the grow rooms.
I also have a dehumidifier and a/c unit if needed.
I’m just about to add some bling and final touches.
All revealed Dec 1st with the new thread/Grow.
Hope that cover’s everything.
I’ll post a few pics.
Give me a minute to label them.
Take care.

It's been warm for ages.
Probably since Nov 1st.
I've got nutrients and other liquids in there.
And it has a frost setting.
If it gets low it fires up on its own.
Frost protection.
It may be Thanksgiving in the states but it's winter here.
