First Med Coco Grow - finished

It was actually pretty simple and it the only cost was the pump ($50) the rest was like 15-20 bucks.

Yes, that is about right. I was planning on trimming again in two days and then flip on Monday-5 days from now...but that is all penciled in depending on how they look.

I picked up a oscilating ceramic heater today at costco with an auto thermostate. Now I have to figure out how and where to put it in the room. The room is down to 74 deg durring the day while dropping into the 60's at night and I know will drop more when the lights go out.
 
I know what you mean about controlling temps..... I know exactly where I would put a heater in my room, but not in yours..... but the idea is to heat the ambient air indirectly away from the plants to decrease humidity spikes by heating the ambient air right next to the plants and thereby their pots expelling moisture ;)

you could always run the lights at night and off during the day to help with night time drops in temp. that's what I do and it says around 60 during the day with lights off and holds 74-77 at night with lights on depending on outside temps. just an idea

That is exactly what I attempted to do. I ended up putting a shelf half way up the wall in the corner behind the fans. The heater ocsillates so it seems to work good. I stayed in the room to check out how it cycled and it came on for about 3-4 minutes and shut off for about 5 mins the first time and 8 the second. Keep in mind the temps outside are 46 F. So the room was 69 before I put it in, I set the thermostate to 78 and it keeps the room about 76-79 per the gauge on the opposite side of the room.

I hear ya notorious. I am going to do exactly that. I have been running 20/4 for the last 5 days to check out what the temp and humididty does during the lights of period. Off at 8:30 am on at 12:30 pm ( which will be 8:30-8:30 in flower).That is when I decided to get the heater when the temps dropped to 62 this morning and that was in 4 hours. That vortex fan circulates a lot of air so I am worried when the outside temps drop into the 30's I will have some problems. It looks like this heater works perfect. I will drop the temps down when it is colder outside..maybe 70ish so the heater doesn't run too much. 1500watts I don't want it running 24/7.

I just checked the temp. I have a remote hum/temp gauge upstairs so I don't have to go down to the room to know what is going on.

Here is a picture of where I put the heater. I tried to take a pic that gives an orientation. I stood in the oposite corner and could feel the temp rise..stood right next to the heater and the heat seems to spread out pretty evenly.

yes I do have it a few inches from the milar. It looks closer than it is in the pic. I actually held my hand against the milar and wasn't warm since the heat is blowing away from the corner. It is a few inches away, but I pobably should cut the milar away right there. Good call, even with the sarcasm. ;-)

Thanks bonsai! Ya Bro, I am still learning myself as you can see, but stay tuned and maybe you can learn from my mistakes. lol I read so many journals ( good and bad grows) before Igot started and still do. There is no autopilot on this shit, there is always something to tweek or adjust. Anyway, stick around we'll see how it turns out.
:grin:
 
Right on. Just cutting my teeth with some bagseed, got 6 females out of 12 sprouted under a 125w CFL w/ a hood. Really been enjoying the process, can't wait till I have more room than a closet to use heh.
 
LOL I am sorry for the sarcasm, I just wanted to point it out to you.

Not much to reflect up there anyway but I would hate to see you lose your house due to a fire started in your growroom, started by a heater to close to the mylar.

I'm not even sure that stuff would catch fire either way.

Anyways, look great! :D

No worries Bro.. I appreciate you pointing it out. I was so high last night when I put that in there I didn't even think about it at the time, not much is different than tonight. LOL Ya I cut that corner down just to be safe. I am not really trying to burn down my house down.
Thanks again:lol:

Just about. I was planning on Monday which will be 31 days..
I am doing some more trimming in the morning and maybe taking some more clones if I can figure out what to do with them. My cloner doesn't have anymore room. I might give up on a couple of the clones that haven't rooted yet and are turning a little yellow and replace them with some fresh ones .:weed:
 
I burned mine with my light too....

LOL..... but the ones Im flowering now are just extras..... just test running the room lol, so I don't have any problems when I get to the real runs ;)

I checked out your ladies this morning. They look huge. How tall did your pk get? Didn't you grow some indoor pk too? I've been following your grows and know you have outdoor pk almost ready to harvest now.:-P
