Nah they’re outside in summer. I only put them back in each arvo when the sun goes down to supplement rest of 18hr. Then they flower in there but the roof comes off during day and beautiful breeze with plenty of sun.

In the tent, yea.
Ill see 1c quiet a few nights a year but the lights are on keeping it decent temps in the tent. Days are normally 12-15c . Lights are off then so they get to around those temps once residual heat is gone.

You have to have a min/max temp and a min/max RH meter IN the grow area to know your temps. If your seeing reg 7s in your tent id be looking at an oil heater as well. I'm a tight arse and pay the electricity bill so I don't use one unless I HAVE to.


See Tassie isn't as cold as people think.

And yeah I have to pay for the power too. Mr electrician hubby worked out how much it’s costing per day atm with what I have running and I’m at 6$ a day. (Haven’t told him two more lights and a heater are on the way lol). Hopefully he’s at work when they arrive lol!

I use to have one of those old oil heaters setup during winter last year for the indoor grow and for any plants older than a month I don't think they need it at all. If my 1 month old chili plants can survive outside in -0.6 then any indoor plants should be fine. Specially switching over to lights on at night and turn them off during the day ( also cheaper on your power bill too) . Those HPS & MH bulbs are like huge heaters on their own.. It's that Summer that worries me 40+ days:(

Currently got the seedlings down stairs no heater on just a cheap arse heat mat and fluros and temps don't go below 18degrees, but the room is insulated.

Only thing is with lights on at night is if you have solar it's better to have lights on during day AND run an aircon if needed.
Solar nowadays the savings you get asre mostly from usage when the sun is up

Hey bro I got them through a mate I’m not sure where he does his shopping, I will say on the back there is a Spanish sticker so I’m guessing a Spanish seed site.... I remember seeing a seed site that had an option to send In breeders pack pretty cool tho I kinda don’t wanna break into them but I have too I guess it’s the beautiful thing about these tamper proof packs lol
