last winter i hand one of the stupid blow heaters in the shed .. got a heavy bill of esb over 500 there was murder.. to make things worse wasnt around the next time the meter man came round.. got a est. bill of them over 500 again the tent was nearly fuckd in the bin.. after the first bill i checked the blow heater the stupid thing was a 2000w .. i hav another little heater only 100w , but its hard to keep the heat in a shed

The last superman movie was so rubbish i couldent even think about watching the next one lol i am harsh on films these days i am hoping the hobbit should be good and being a lotr fan ill be going to the cinema for full enjoyment!

 

[ae86 grower]

yeah you have to keep an eye on wattage`s.... the little rads are the job i`ll be getting mine back as soon as possible, but getting it back off the ould lad could be bothersome hahahahaha...

soilder on tho, i`ll block up the window in the shed if its cold in there tomorrow it might help some, and if i have to i can lay some blankets over the box to keep in the heat that bit longer..

I'm in a shed too and I got a dehumidifier outa Argos in my cab, keeps the temp up and humidity down.
Just over 20c lights on and around 10c lights off. Still not great but it works.
I take about 5L of water out of the air every 2 days.
Motor in it gets warm and heats the air. It's about the size of a pc desk top case.
Best €140 ever.

I'm not in a tent doe, I'm in a big office type 2 door cabinet. 6 foot high, 3foot wide, 2 foot deep.
400w in soil. On my 3 rd week 12/12. Hope to be done for crimbo.

seamus was growing them too on here but i havent seen him for a while,, "were r u seamus" luv to know how they turned out

im on a propper idea buzz,, heres a cheap but effective idea for shead growers with cold issues ,and if u have the room.

get this greem house in argos for 55e .size H197, W144, D71cm. well enough space for most of u lot

then line it with this stuff from lidl its only 6.99 for 6m .it will keep the heat in & cold out and also will reduce heat sig.

 

[marley321]

orderd my beans over a week ago now from herbies still waitin hope there here tomorrow.anyone thats growing and worried about there electric bill id advise ta get the pay as ya go meter since i got it ive nearly halved the cost.our bill used ta b about 200e every 2 months now that im able ta see what were usein we never use more than 15e a week.its just a keypad that plugs into any socket in the house so nobody knows i have it.great job cant praise it enough.

our bills are 260 a month and thats the norm, the 150w didnt make much difference wen i started usin it,, do the es b install them for free,and can anyone get them,,15 a week is amazing, how big is ur house ? how many livin there,, im not fishing just wanna compare the price i thought mine was very high but wen i rang they said its normal for a house my size
