Caught me after a few bowls of the JTR/DB, so I tend to drag on a bit. ;-)
My apologies if I sounded too pedantic: too many years of phone-based tech support for my own good.

Speaking of which, I have a bud of C4/Casey next to me that's calling my name, so I'd best not ignore such a dear friend's call for immolation and inhalation.

Whodat..thanks for that. So to be clear, did you mean elevating the mat off the table or the seed tray off the mat? I was going to elevate the seedlings and inch or so above the mat.

The other thing he said makes some sense too if he literally meant domino's, and not the plastic kind either. I say that because there is a concept out there that I seen when looking at monolithic dome buildings. They create a floor of cinderblock where the holes are lined up to create channels. Layed on top is ceramic tile and above is a skylight. The sun heats the tile/cinder block and holds the head at night and it gets dispersed through the air in the channels. Heating tile/air underneath the pad might disperse the heat more evenly, idk.

I think you mean me afrawfraw? No I didn't. I don't have a CO2 generator anyway so I couldn't if I wanted to.

Ya. Sorry. Maybe microwave the...shit. Sorry again. I know you are seriously trying to figure this out. I'm so stoned. My next thought was a heat mat under the seeds, hooked up to a environmental controller set at whatever, with the probe jammed between the mat and the seeds, but I'll save you the...ughh, I'm gonna go now..

I'm not too worried about it. Up until now any mats I'd seen, available to me anyway, were higher end horticulture mats that are up there in price but I've found this one and it's good enough for me. I just live in a drafty place in the north and it's tough to keep the ambient temps up, especially in the closet where I have to do my germing and vegging. I also seen that probe but that sucker is twice the price of the mat so not thanks. I'll just have to do the monitoring myself for a bit. I have bigger fish to fry like a t5 fixture and such. Thanks anyway. :peace:

I'm a bit stoned too. Just reread the probe part and saw you were talking something different. Either way, I'll just have to do it with TLC.

My mat works great without any thermostatic controls, but I use it on top of concrete. I have friends that use it off the floor and it can cook shit up fast and dry it out in there. If you have a hygrometer to throw in it may not hurt to keep an eye for a bit.

They def try to rape you on that probe! lol

Oh, yeah!. That's the other thing on my list. A humidifier. I'll never get to my second list (getting all my guitars and stuff back) at this rate. Never mind my third list! Arg!

Day 10 flowering. Just got my new 4x4x6 tent and i love it, Secret Jardin makes a great tent. LSD, Afghan Haze, and the Tangerine Dream are all showing hairs, now to wait for the Blue Cheese and find out what the random bagseed is. Would a 400w(or 600w cmh) MH be more beneficial to the tent or another 600w HPS.

Nice training methods! Those are looking primo for a some nice colas. Opinions vary on this subject, I don't think you could go wrong with another 600 :D But I really like the idea of a CMH, something I really want to do. I run a single 600 in the same size space as yours and I must admit, it needs more light. The harvests are good, but they're not great.

The 600 will penetrate deeper and be more versatile if you go with a digital ballast... However, it will also raise your temps more than your other option, as well as be more costly to purchase and maintain. A 400 CMH would provide a much wider light spectrum, even better in flowering range than HPS according to the data, cheaper to purchase and maintain with less heat production. Less penetration also though and the only option is a magnetic ballast.

Consider your training practices either is going to work well for you!

EDIT: That LSD looks EXACTLY like my Super Lemon Haze, I would mistake it in a heartbeat.
