I live in the Skeena Valley... Your name sounds like a word in the local lingo.

That's right! Skeena valley resident too!.. my understanding is the Tsimshian word for "cheif" or "leader" ..I am not Tsimshian but mean no disrespect and use it out of an admiration and acknowledgement of the local culture ..

I appreciate the advice and it's worth a try for sure.. this is a time of year that is a little tricky for temps

Not cold enough to be running heat in my house but just a little too cool at times for the tent so have to run a heater in the tent which I am not a fan of. Only because i hate to leave it running unattended all the time.

I know it is unlikely to start a fire but i feel more peace of mind when it's not running.I do have a pretty sweet little space heater that draws low watts and heats the tent pretty well I will crank it up a notch and see if that encourages some growth

I just harvested my last plant, but I was playing the same game. Running heat in the house when it’s not needed during the day, just to get in the temp zone. My fall and spring grows both always have about 3 weeks that’s really tough to make it work.

Just a couple things
Have you cut your exhaust fan to minimum?
Light drivers in the tent?

I have the temps up to 75-80 now so will run with that and see what happens.

Remember water temps..........one of my pet peeves.

root zone temperature was one vow the reasons I decided to put the mulch covers back on

especially my homemade ones which are just contractor grade garbage bags cut to fit so their black colour must help warm the soil I'm sure

Clear plastic covers will do a better job warming up the soil. The black plastic blocks all the light, and the plastic becomes warm, but not the soil. It really only matters though, if you are getting a decent amount of light to the soil.

I always thought that direct uv light on the soil surface was detrimental to microbial life?

I definetly could be wrong about that tho..

The bright spot in the tent is this samsquanch which is definetly in beast mode right now and growing visibly every day

Coming up on day 30 which is usually when I top dress so will plan on doing that within the next few days

Top dress will be gaia green bloom formula plus castings and kelp maybe a little alfalfa I will try to top water it in with aloe water and microbial mass...
