Indoor Hardon's First AFN Grow - Fast Buds West Coast OG GLR SCROG

[hardon]

That is a similar situation for me in the winter. Glr can only be a summer time event for me. Best thing about growing in a colder climate is I can bring out the purps and other colors just by not turning on the heater. I habe find that if I exhaust my wwarm filtered air out of the rooms into the anti-chamber I can keepthe cold out better. Could you frame some of the ssurrounding area in the loft to create an insulated space that the tent is inside of?

Maybe we could do a scrog glr auto challenge next summer? 2 seeds same strain and scrog??

Good point! I will need to have a look at my exhaust in a few weeks and drop it closer down to the intake.

And what's this? A challenge from the Knight of the Scrog? A GLR summer grow off battle?... Oh it's so on!!!

ALREADY MAYBE THE MOST TALKED ABOUT EVENT OF 2016 - AFN's EPIC GROW O CHALLENGE
GLR GENERAL HARDON VS KNIGHT OF THE SCROG ROARK
2 SEEDS, ONE STRAIN AND A WHOLE LOT OF EPICNESS!
​

I'm off to figure out how I can squeeze another 400w cooltube in my tent. All in the name of sporting competition of course!

Cheers,
Hardon

Totally dude! We should probably get a seperate thread started to discuss strains, venues, my 70/30 cut of all ticket and ppv sales

We should probably copy the thread into the cannabis news section as well given it's that EPIC!!! lol

I'm so excited for this event I can't wait to talk about it with other people Looking forward to some GLR action then. Let's hope there are no injuries before the event, would be a shame after all the hype

Thanks for the kind comments - I only hope I can do the strain justice...

It'll be GLR overload in the summer of 2016. Forget the Olympics - The GLR Grow Off is where it's at! I hear there is even a movie in the works - Roberto Esquivel Cabrera is set to star as Hardon (You might need Google for that one...)

Day Eight Update​

The news is not good I'm afraid... So I installed the new tube heater yesterday and set the timers up for the first GLR run which was to happen from 7am - 7pm today.

All looking good! I checked them this morning around 10am just to see how they were getting on...

This was not what I wanted to see! I'm a loft grower and it has gotten cold around here recently. The temps outside the tent have been a constant 10 degrees for a few days now but inside the tent has been fine under 24/0. I really hoped the tube heater would have done a better job given that it is only October and isn't even properly cold yet. But then I began to recall the reason why my old tube heaters were shipped out to the shed...

As unacceptable as 16 degrees is to me, I let the day run its course and by midday, the temps were in the low 20's and stayed there until 7pm tonight. Unfortunately this has left me with a major decision to make - Do I invest in more heaters (which I do not have the space for nor the will to battle the cold!) or do I abandon the GLR on this run and stick to the usual 20/4 and save myself a major ballache?

To be honest, I really should have known better. Come December/January I'll be struggling to keep the tent above 20 degrees with the lights on nevermind anything else! Since I moved into the loft a few years back, I always seem to forget that it gets cold and every year I encounter the same problems. As keen as I am to run an auto under the GLR, the thought of trying to heat the tent for 11 hours a day in the dead of winter is too much. I think for me the GLR will be a summer special thing only...

In non GLR related news, the girls have been making storming progress! They got fed this evening with 3ml Grow and 2ml Superthrive and will move to a 20/4 schedule from here on. And in what is actually (potentially) really good news for the plants - I've actually remembered that it is going to get proper cold before it has actually gotten proper cold and can now plan accordingly No blow heaters blowing through the intake and torching the plants this year!

Apologises to all those who came for the GLR but hopefully we can still turn out something good
​

Thanks for dropping in!

Cheers,
Hardon

Hi H

Got an almost identical issue.

My way round it is to run a duct down into an up stairs room from my air inlet(passive) so I should be pulling a nice ambient temp into the tent. The loft im in suffers from massive solar gain in summer which gives temps in the loft in the 40s. But by Christ is it cold in winter.

I would have thought that auto's are more tolerant of the cold with the rudelis parentage.

I've only had a quick squiz at this post as in at work and using my phone, so excuse me if this is something you covered, but, what lights you using? If hids is your ballast outside your grow? Some free heat there. I've just gone led coz of the heat signature, have trouble with the 'tax men' on my manor.
