Here is the latest update: > I am going to grow autos so I can keep the light on longer, say 22/2 (or even 24/0 if I have to) > I will put a large seedling heat mat under the pots (this is only about 85 watts, so it will help with soil temp, but is limited) > Change to a 600W HID light I...

Hey man. Thanks for the suggestion on autos. Just wasn't thinking about that but I think it could work well. Just gotta check the temps on the tent once I get all the equipment. You mentioned knowing another E Mahn. It's a name I've used for many years. Anyhow, thanks again.

I was advised elsewhere that I could go 1 pot, 2 pot or 4 pots (smaller pots as the number increases). 4-pot was based on 3-gal pots. Your input is helpful. With regard to watering, I will be using an autopot system, so this will limit need to lug. Light is 600W "equivalent." Actual watts...

So that is a creative thought and I had not considered it. Thanks. Although I understand the general concept, I really don't know a lot about autos. My seed/cutting supplier doesn't carry any autos, but perhaps I should seek out another source.

Thanks folks for your posts. A couple clarifications: > Running lights at night vs. day won't help a lot here. Because it is half underground, there is very little temperature difference between night and day, maybe 5 degrees. During the winter the crawl space temperature range is 50-55, night...

So the thing is, in terms of real world day/night, the temperature in the crawl space doesn't really change. It will be in the 50-55 degree range all day/night. But for the plants' day/night, it will change a lot. With the light on, I expect the tent to be in the 70s. But as soon as the...

I am planning my first grow in a 3x3x6 tent, four 3-gallon pots, scrog, soil, LED 600W light, 200 CFM exhaust fan, probably clones (Tangie). The tent will be in the crawl space under my house (it is a tall space with plenty of room to walk in). It is sort of semi-indoors/semi-outdoors. It is...
