ok, well the same weather system that allows you to harvest at the end of summer allows you to harvest before summer too, probably too late, but if you input the correct lattitude on the graph i linked itll show you daylight hours at dates.

make sense now

that`ll have to wait until next summer to, after spending way more this year than should have, on knocking this house into shape....

might factor in a grow space when building the shed, have foundations dug already for it, floor space will be 15ft by 40 ft lenght

with flir is there a safe way to have an outside grow space?

Yes, the trick with flir is heat, flir detects heat. now keeping heat low is one thing, so maybe cfls. or not mh for vegging, good ventalation, but if you had a shed, where all hot air was exhausted through a big vent, similiar to the one a boiler would use then i wouldnt worry, similiarly, if it looks like a boiler ina shed i wouldnt worry.
and anything under 2k watts is mostly ok, and we dont use flir like the americans do

Flir should be the least of your worries. :) Its leccy thats giving people away!!

Also, why don't you consider digging your foundations a bit deeper and having a grow room below ground level, drop a 20ft cotainer down there and your laughing:) And ya get to use CO2!!

well a 400, plus filters fans and ballast, and what not id say a 400watt pulls 600watts, tahts not including any veg lights/ fans so a 400watt modest setup with cfls id say pulls close to 1k in total. which isnt alot, considering your pc power supply might be 450-650 watts, and a tv would pull more again, i wouldnt be too worried.
I believe its smell, lose lips and rats or other facts ( selling, being sloppy) that gets people caught

jingle if i were you id feed algamic every watering if using bio grow, keeps you cal/mag in line with what they should be. i used to get def but it all stopped when i used algamic. you could use bioheaven but its just too expensive, also algamic can be foliar fed.

you could get 2 rounds with the autos id say, a round before summer and after. might be an option.

people talk about double harvests but iv only ever seen it done with auto affie i think, worth a try anyhow with some of the better strain around now.

iv been wondering about power consumption recently and the whole 1k per bedroom rule, a friend has a smart meter and he can see exactly how much he use's, always below 500 unless he uses a drier or dishwasher.

i had guessed it had something to do with yeild as the light was hanging vertically in middle, with plants around it thus higher penitration or something like that!!!
