I got the same stem trainers as Iriee but haven’t used them yet. I had ordered these first and they were perfect:

Quick update. I got the cloudline fully installed and fine tuned. So far she is doing an amazing job at venting which I am thankful for. But I am realizing that my temp control is very wavy. My space heater doesnt have a digital thermostat just a knob to adjust heat. If I turn it up more it hits over 80 and my fan kicks in on over drive. If I turn it back down its dropping down to like 65 when lights are off. 75 Is where I want it right now and where it is 80% of the time. Do you'll think going from 75 to 65 is too big of a drop? If so Ill drop the coin to get a fancier heater. On wards with the pictures!!! So far Mega Crop is doing its thing. No complaints. I'm also happy with there growth progress and look forward to topping next week. Happy Growing You'll!!

Oh Yea. This girl. She is one that's a few days behind I think she is at like day 7. Still had a hard time getting her started so lets call her the runt of the litter. She is just along for the ride. We will see what happens.

Looking awesome CD! Picture perfect babies. A 10 degree variation between night and day is good for the plants — they should be fine.

Thank you for the Rep Free Flow! I like the name btw...Glad to have you following along.

Thats a relief to hear. I actually dropped my top humidity down so it will be in range still for when the temp drops. Find that happy medium!

Had similar problem until I got an atmosphere controller like this one on eBay

With this bad boy you can have your heat / humidifier/ fan or exhaust or whatever come on when you hit a set temp or humidity level .....

Best $50 I spent

So is it just like an external thermostat for my heater and will just kill power when it hits a certain temp? So i could basically crank the heater all the way up and it will shut it down before it jumps up to 80 degs.

Yes. yes and yes plus you’ll find with the controller you’ll get the heat better “dialed” in ..... no more wondering is too hot, better turn down and then hour later, better check maybe too hot - glad I checked it was so turn down heat only to rinse and repeat cycle ..... Yep you’ll love it and the simplicity and longevity- one you see in my pic is from a grow I did in 1984 that I had stored over 34 years before resurrecting and it works perfect ..... they even have an old green products website - solid product .... you’re going to like it - back in 1984 I paid double, think $129 - lot of coin back then!

Oh yea .... use a temp gauge at plant level and don’t really pay attention to dials numbers, rather dial in by temp at plant range, not the controller area .... easy preezy to use!

That's sounds similar to the Inkbird controller I use for my space heater. I set it to a certain temp range and it turns the heater on when it is within my tolerance range (set at +\- 5). It has another plug for cooling, but I don't have anything hooked up there yet. If I did it would come on when outside of the tolerance for my max temp. Really effective in dialing in temps.
