Grow Room Methods of Heating Indoor Grow Tent In Winter

[countryboywg]

I used to run CO² but it did not improve the yield enough to warrant all of the effort.

I don't see any way around it in a totally sealed tent. Do you know any other choice? I'm reading one of your grows right now,

No, if you have to run sealed up for the heat there is no other choice. I thing the laundry room is a good alternative.

My chrome book keeps fing up. What kind of low temps are they dealing with? Lower than 0 degrees f?

My grow room is indoors and heat in the summertime is my villain. I was just recalling some of the many cold climate growers we have here on AFN and other forums I have read how they deal with the cold. I remember one guy growing in an attic that was down below zero and he had a hard time keeping his water lines flowing. He used a lot of insulation and kept the grow space all comfy inside.

I think it will be cheaper and it will be a lot less work and not having to go out in the cold. I saw where said you took a master gardeners course. Was it expensive and could you suggest a decent light for a 4+4 tent that a guy on disability could afford?

I use to burn wood in my house and my shop both 24/7 and sold wood for extr a money. Now I do good to cut enough to keep the shop warm when I need to do something or sometimes a few of us get together and play ping pong. I can keep 75 to 80 in there even when it's in the teens, but it goes through the wood,

I took the NPK Industries Master gardener course by Harley Smith. It was $250 A lot of information but a bit too expensive. The best lights are expensive but many growers including myself have done well with inexpensive LEDs. If you are handy I would look into some of the newer QB kits with far red. if that is still too expensive look at the Marshydro SP line We have an onsite rep and discounts come around if you are patient.

I've looked at the SP line. I can do about anything. The QB kits can be updated later or am I wrong.

What do you mean by updated?

If better technology comes along can the diodes or drivers be changed or would I be better off using one of my 600 watt hid's and by single cobs one at a time?

@Mañ'O'Green hey man have you ever heard of the Illumitex eclipse?? I got 3 sets of 2 they told me each individual light covers 2’x4’ but they have not told me the general height I wanna keep my light and I can’t find anyone using them to get information from. The only start point they gave me was start at 2’ for seedlings. I got the lights about 10” above my tallest plant which are in flower they have been in the tent about 8 days they were started outside. I have no clue about how far to keep my led lights so for no light burn but be nice to know a height for veg and flower.

I got 6 total Illumitex eclipse light bars total 1700w led in a 5x5 tent
