It gets cold in my room at night so i set up a small heater with adjustable settings and keep it on a seperate timer ,running 1/2 hours after lights out until 1/2 hour before they come on again. the heater turns itself off when it gets warm enough. I hear it coming on several times in a night ,my temps when lights come on is @ 68-70 degrees , in the summer the heater can blow cold air for me. if u cant fit a small heater inside i have heard it helps keeping one by your intake fan.
sweet thanks, now to find the smallest heater I can find becuase I dont want to go over board with the meater because for the most part temp is under control, and with this winter being unusally warm, its really easy to deal with right now its just in cse we get a freak freeze streak.

o here we are at the end of week three, like I said I started nutes, and next week I will start LSTing the Northern Lights as it is ready to be tied down, the Fruity Chronic Juice is confusing me because it has 6 nodes but yet its so small, so for a couple of days I raised the light to get it to stretch and it seemed to help some but very little so im just going to keep it going and hope it just explodes in growth sooner are later. In week three I will be doing a transplant into their final pot but enough of rambling here are the pics, as always feedback is greatly appreciated.

that n.l. is taking off
yes it is but the trick is it's got 5 full nodes, and the 6th is sprouting, but the FCJ has 6 full nodes and the 7th is coming in but its way smaller and dense, oh well we will see what it ends up doing like I said im vegging these lady until they fill the pot with no topping, so I think im looking at about 6-7 more weeks of veg.:weed:

Great setup Chief. I'm subbed in. I'm currently growing 4 plants in a similar sized area also using CFL's. (3.75 sq ft and 27k lumens)
With only 2 plants I think you'll do well. Lots of lumens for that space. Your NL is it normal or auto? My NL auto looks nothing like that. Although after 6 weeks of mistreatment it has every right!
Here it is going into flower...

Okay folks so things have been moving along very good, its changing on a daily basis by just looking at it, the LST is keeping me busy, as of now I have about 14-16 tops on each one and my goal is 30 tops each but we will see, I did the final transplant into 3 gal. pots, and got more light in there I am now running 268watts, more light will be added later on, and the temp are doing good hold steady at 78. Now going into week 5 im planning on doing a little bit of trimming just to open them up some because they look like a ball of healthy leaves, they both are LSTed to about 3-4" high as of now, but enough of typing what some people will not be reading anyways... here are the PICS enjoy and as always comment or questions appreciated.:leaf:
