I load all sorts of cal.,,,, .380, 9mm, 10mm, .45acp, .38/.357, .357sig, 7.62x25, 7.62x39, .223/5.56, 303, 30-06 and .50 BMG, .22 Hornet and others. I have 100's of pounds of lead and everything needed to cast. Just haven't done it much in the last 10 years or so. I keep 10/12k rounds in storage and enough consumables to load up another 15k mixed rounds. When I shoot,, I shoot a lot.

I hear that man. I have alot of ammo. We also haven't made much in the past few years. Yea we also make the 30 odd 6 rounds I love shooting that fucker but man puts a dino-soar in my shoulder. Lmao.
Lots of .22 too
We used to collect the lead from the range when it goes into the catcher then clean it and melt it down re cast into bars. I have buckets upon buckets of it. Lol

If you think 30-06 kicks, you should try super magnum shotgun loads.

I want there to be a decent amount of air circulation though, I fear that if I turn it down too low they won't get enough air

Enough air for what? Removing heat? Lowering humidity? Providing co2?

These guys are giving solid advice and it costs nothing try lower fan speed.

My fan is controlled by temp/humidity and it's never caused low co2.

My room temp is also 20C and tent is 26-29. The heater only comes on during lights off.

What is your reluctance to use a bulb as a heater then?
this isn’t some show and tell stuff where your measured by your system
It’s a way to grow great weed and if you aren’t gonna use that heater just add a normal light even a 100 watt one
with something like this https://www.chewy.com/flukers-ceramic-repta-clamp-lamp/dp/129137?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12713121116&utm_content=Fluker's&utm_term=&gbraid=0AAAAADmQ2V0nqv-0oC3VVx00mdsfYf-e2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxYXum5vd9gIVa2xvBB1xxwkbEAQYBSABEgJ43fD_BwE

I skipped a bunch of pages. Why do you mean your electric was off? The breaker tripped? Sound like something is arcing and drawing way more amps than it should be. I'd be checking your plugs and connections. This could be very dangerous for you and end up bad.

The electric was off because I put $100 dollars on the electric and after a week it ran out which totally surprised me, I thought I was dreaming when I woke up lol. So there was no money on the electric lmao the 2kw heater is draining all of it lmao I just checked the rating of it. And it runs at 2kw even when it's turned down, it still pulls the same amount from the wall :bigjoint:

@harrychilds if you ever get back into your thread PM me. I know it's getting late for you and your stressed, broke and pissed. I need to know the size of your tent. Temp & RH of the room your tents in. The light, what exhaust fan you have, humidifier if any. Circ fans in the tent and size and what controls you have????

It's a 4x4 tent. I don't believe I need a 2,000 watt heater to achieve my goal, so I am going to buy a 500watt heater tomorrow. My temps are around 23c and my humidity is 60% :)

The oil filled radiator is rated at 2,000 watts, so it's constantly pulling 2,000 watts from the mains, it's kind of funny really. Maybe my local grow shop sold it me thinking I was doing a whole house full of weed? Hahahahaha it's a massive radiator. I don't know what I was thinking when I purchased it hahaha

The benefit of oil filled radiators is that they dont run full time. The oil holds heat

Yeah I know that dude, but it's pulling 2,000 watts of energy from the mains, just to heat it up slightly. It's a total over kill and I have realized that now. Regardless of whether it's heating it up a lot or just a little bit, it's still pulling 2,000 watts off the mains
