    Guess I need one then, I'm hovering mid 60's atm. I figured indicas would handle it. Maybe that explains my lack of bud swell

    Well shit. Makes sense, they quit growing right around the time it started cooling off

    Bought a new 25 foot, 13 amp. extension cord. Tried out a 1500 watt heater and it is way too much heat. A 500 watt ceramic heater with a controllable thermostat might be what I'm looking for.

    I often wondered whether colder temps just slow down the bloom period or reduce yield in addition. Probably a little of both I recon??
    My ambient winter temps in my cellar will hit 65 degrees F. It would be nice to get my tent temp up another 10 degrees.

    ime, flowering time was the same. Ideal temps, 10 weeks of 12/12, 700g/600w. Too bloody cold, <16'C, 10 weeks of 12/12, 500g/600w. (Both had 7 weeks veg from seed to flip.)

    ~£350 per 600w hps grow at the time. £0.50/g ideal climate, £0.70/g when too cold. 500g @ £0.50 would have cost £250 so £100 out. I don't think I could have given them ideal temps down there for 17 weeks with only £100 worth of leccy. That works out to less than a quid a day.

    UPDATE:

    There where a ton of small personal heaters to choose from out there on the market, but I finally found a heating unit I can use for my grow tent if needed. It has all the features I was looking for. It’s temperature control is programmable/fully automated, has a low-heat setting and has good safety features. Is only 12 inches high, quiet, and comes with a remote and a generous 5 year warranty. I’ll likely put it to the test this winter…if not sooner.

    That heater is going to give off a lot of light inside your grow tent/room.

    Foil tape and a flap will do it
