colder temps, autos vs photos

Growth slows to almost a full stop in the 50s. If waiting is an option, wait. Outdoor is one thing ( I'd still wait) but indoor runs are costly (power nutes etc) and this will almost certainly end poorly. 59 degrees is about 20* off of optimal for autos under led.

These particular seeds were purchased from Greybeard Seeds.

The Nirvana was tamper proof and the seeds looked good. The Headlights Kush seeds were green and undersized. Probably birdseed or Greybeard fail seeds. That packaging was suspect.

That's disappointing. Hate seeing seeds show up that just look meh to start with...

I'll put solos on a heating pad....thats good for 5 to 7 days I think.......then just the light will heat my tent and maybe I'll leave the heating pad in there plugged in and AC Infinity exhaust on power lvl 2.........should get me close to 70 degrees. The space heater I'll need to use during the 6 hours the light is off.

Have no more 3 gallon containers, just 5's and 7's........

I like 5s for low feed runs with good soil. With autos, you can figure 1 gallon of soil for every month of life. 3 always seems to run just a little shy without some bottles, but 5 gallon bags work pretty good. 7s would probably be great for outdoor there, here in central California I need 10s minimum outside to help keep the roots cool on 110 degree days.

I was looking at the radiant heaters for my next run. Chicken coop heaters. I know you said an IR heater but what type of heater are you looking at using?

What size tent? What wattage on the lights?

Turn down the AC Infinity to 1.. you'll still see negative pressure.

Where are you exhausting? What's your humidity level in basement when running prior?

I started running autos because I grow in a detached 10x20 shed. Over the years iv learned a few things and get by pretty well these days.. but it took some work and making improvements. While environment might be less than ideal you'll still be able to pull some home grown..

I run 24hr unless the weather is mild during the last week and I can give them some lights off time to help them finish.

For heaters I like the 1500w oil filled radiators.

I have a thread in the cobshop sub forum if ya wanna see my setup. I'd link ya but an old dude posting on his phone is about as far as I can stumble through.. you might pick up some ideas.

Took me months to figure anything out but I think that is it maybe?

@Gone Camping I am going to have to look through this when I have more time. Looks very interesting and I just skimmed through and thank you I appreciate that very much. I have spent the last couple months trying to figure some stuff out and I'm still learning not just from growers like yourself but also how to do some things on here to try and be helpful so I'm glad I could put some of the time I spent trying to figure out the site to help however I can and I don't feel like I have too much to teach someone who's on your level so nice to be able to contribute something.

I'll keep the exhaust low as possible, to retain as much heat as possible. Its a thermostatically controlled infra red heater I picked up 2 winters ago. Our furnace quit during a blizzard, bought a few........tent size, the light I'm using are in my signature.

4 x 4 Zazzy tent, HLG 550V2 Rspec is up........have other lights as well. I'm no noob, just new to autos. There was no appropriate place to start this thread, the topic fit nowhere else. Cellar ranges 52 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit..........44% natural humidity IN cellar , own 3 humidifiers......Humidity is not a problem.......temps are in Jan + Feb/
