    do an ambient temp check in there over the next day or 2 to get a baseline for your temps.
    then run the fans and see the temp diff when its runing 24hrs.
    make note of the highest and lowest and let me know. we can go from there.

    generally the best thing to do, like i do in colder months, is run your day cycle at the coldest part of the day.. 9pm -9am ish.
    and if low temps is a prob during veg, then i suggest vegging with lights on 24/7

    you'll look back one day and realise it was worth it.

    when i buy, i buy the best i can. most of my equipment is 6+years old and still working like new.

    2 5" RVKs
    Control Freaks Fusion Fan Controller

    And a load of other bits.. no half measures I suppose!
    Also, swapping the bio bizz out for Advanced Nutrients?? Anyone have any experience with these nutes please?

    Hey peeps!

    So.... this is my progress. Im pretty happy with it so far.
    I bailed on 2 of the autoflowers and decided to go with the pink runtz (im pretty sure its female?!) and the trippy gorilla by big head seeds.

    From sprouting, its been almost 8 weeks and so im thinking about changing my lights to 12/12. Ive been feeding with bio bizz grow, sensi cal mag and on the last couple of feeds i gave some bud blood as it seemed as if she needed some p&k.

    She looks pretty healthy.. i think.. but i cant help but see something wrong. Anyone advise? Anything you think she needs and any pointers on the transition to flower?

    All the best

    TIA ?

    you'll look back one day and realise it was worth it.

    Krofam! Im a tit.. didnt realise youd posted this.. sorry.

    The daytime temps dont get above 27c and the night time ive got a heat controller so at 17.5 it kicks in and gets no higher than 24/26 and slowly back down again. Seems to be doing ok.

    Ive just got a little dehumidier that will cover 25m2 for those days when our typical wether pushes the number up...

    Im running 18/6 at the moment. Light off at 9pm and back on again at 3am. Im thinking about switching to flower as mentioned in my before post.. what do you reckon?

    Generally i can have it running stable at 25.5c most of the time. 18/19 most nights. The humidity has been around 65/70rh but with the little unit i got im hoping more like 50rh when its in use.

    Quality, don't buy shit gear. I learn't it the hard way. One grow and you realise the stuff you bought is all shit and needs an upgrade.

    Hey Funk,

    My thinking at the start, i just saw the kits and i guess it was wishtul thinking. You get what you pay for after all!

    I think im pretty sorted to be honest with you, i went with the best i could in most areas.. the rvks, acoustic ducting, hybrid controller for negative pressure and temperature that runs silently. I have a heat controller that turns on a 300w tube heater should temps drop. Ive spent alot on nutrients and boosters too so im hoping i get some good results!

    Any advice on the flowering?

    Ive put a scrog in today!

    I squeeze 2 in a 80cm x 40cm space so you could do 4 since you're in double the space. Though i imagine having a bit of floor space for equipment and appliances would be nice.
