Cold temp question.

I made the room air tight, and added a small co2 burner w/ propane tank & monitor, also a dehumidifer. Now the temps are great, I was pulling air straight from the outdoors and trying to use the heat off of a 400 w MH for heat at night:wall:.

So, now that I'm using Co2 (1500ppm) and my girls are going to stay warm, what effect do you think on yield? Again, the temps have been getting down to the mid-50's at night, they are 6 weeks into bloom...and this is an 8 week Indica dominate strain. I plan on watching the trichlones (50% amber) before I harvest regardless of the time estimated on the strain.

Let's say I normally get 1/2 ounce dry per plant w/ the method I use( ffof soil, organic teas). How much of a difference should I be expecting? I'm on the negative side mind you.:sad::cuss:

It's hard to say... so many variables...

Biggest would be the strain...

But you do have THAT going for you... an Indica will be less affected by cooler temps than a Sativa, since Indicas are form temperate climates .. as opposed to the Tropical Sativas...

I bet you will not loose too much since it sounds like you corrected the problem quickly...:clap:

Best of Luck...

...add info, the temps we're on target for the first 3 weeks of bloom 65F - 80F...wk# 4 things got cold.
and I would like to see the 80F become 75F... especially for the Indicas...

75F day/65F night is the IDEAL RANGE...

sure you can grow outside of that, but that is the IDEAL RANGE, where you actually get some GOOD RESULTS...:mrgreen:

...no shit? ...what about now with co2? Think 75 is still idea? My strain is Big Bud from Sensi Seeds. Thanks man, I think I'll call and have'em to turn the fans up and lower that day temp.

The miscommunication was probably on mybehalf moreso then yours, I stated that I was using fresh air, but later mentioned that my heat source was a burner along w/ a dehumidifer....so, yeah, I figured I'd throw that back at ya. LOL , thankx again man!
