This is the UK thread mate, we use the metric system along with the rest of the industrialised world.

I'm not sure what you mean mate, does this thermostat turn your kit on and off according to what the temp is?

The thermostat will control the heater so if i got it set to 24c day time it will stay at that or should do, as soon as temps reach 24c the thermostat will switch the heater off, then cos its programmable i can set it to a different temp for night time so lets say 17c.....

If I could I would just get it in a range where there was a 20degrees drop between night and day temps. All fruit bearing plants produce superior quality fruit with a large swing in day to night temps.

well 24c is, 75f....... to get a 20f drop i will have to go down to 55f night time which is 12.7c which seems low to me, to get the 20f drop id have to have higher day time temps, so not sure which way to go with this mate....

I disagree but if you could provide some scientific evidence to back that up I'm all eyes.

yeah its a tough one I agree. That's exactly the problem to battle, I'm not in a position to be able to control my environment temps as compulsively as I would like.

I would say absolute lowest I would go is 15.5 but as I cant control my temps (tent is in my room with all my servers and gaming pc's).

A grape gardener down my allotment actually passed this nugget onto me. Not sure of the validity but just done a quick search and there is alot on the topic.

Pulled this up but cant be arsed to scan through it to the valid point. Feel free to correct me on anything if you feel its incorrect mate

Ive read somethin before batf sayin a 10f drop is good but never 20f......i think ill just experiment an see how things go...

but if i go down to 15.5c for the 20f drop i will have to be at 26.5c day time which i suppose aint to high atall is it....

also it could have been a 10c drop is good from what i read cant remember now lol

Too high a night time temp affects fruit set most definitely, this does not mean though that fruit bearing plants perform better with a significant swing.

25-28C day and 18-20C night would be around optimal for indoor Cannabis.

 

[drgrowshit]

Look at this lads 4 days ago 2 lt pots then tryed out the 6.5 airoot and........well what you think? 4 days goods shiz likesroots poping threw bottom great,and mad might be rhizo lolwee pic from eye level

 

[batf1nk]

Yea dude, have a play around. I for one will be interested in what you come up with.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

Back later boy's, she's dragging me out again.

 

[dura72]

i agree with yorshire on that assesment....mines is improving slightly thru the day, up to 25c from 21c, but last night was VERY cold and my temps hit around 6c on the down swing. so ive readjusted the timer frquency and we'll just have to check on monday. just trail and error.....on the plus side the plants look bloody healthy, strong stems, big dark green fan leaves and lots of bud sites, only problem is they should really be drinking more, this WILL be corrected. at least its a lot fuckin better than too high a temp issue.

 

[3eyes]

Every thing i've read says to keep the day and night temps within about 10 degrees or so, my temps vary quite a bit more than that though

 

[batf1nk]

Good to know. There are so many growers down the allotment that always have a "tip" for ya like, fucking some of the stuff I get told is retarded. should have done some research into it myself without making a sweeping generalisation.

Anyway, got all my BW potted up in 18 litre pots, TGA gear hanging so smoke time!

Some pics.

 

[PUKKA BUD]

Haha every fuckers gone airpot crazy..........lookin good mate!

Do me a favor fello airpot users drop some pics over at this thread, i told old Las id keep it goin for him but been quiet over there......

Airpots Club

 

[PUKKA BUD]

Was also thinkin abit ago, optimal temps for roots water up take is 20c/ 68f start gettin lower can slow it so if temps got very low surely the moisture in the pots would drop an could slow things down.........not sure if mj plants take up food in dark hours i think they grow durin that time....some thing else to look into lol

Anyhow whats every fucker got planned this fine saturday?

 

[batf1nk]

Cheers fellas. Only a small grow for myself, 400w.

I'm actually dumping the airpots for my indoors man, they were a fucking pain in the arse to water for me. Keeping 1 running on a side by side this grow to appease me.

Not up to much today, smoking some sensi skunk #1 watching Mr Nice at the moment.

well my door seal tape showed up today so im geting the door sealed of also i may as well rak3e the old gafa tape out and get the ducting hooked up,, if figyuring IF my temps are to cold then ima slide the glass of the hood a little bit to let sum of the hot air escape into the room rather than be sucked out.
thoughts on this?
ther was summet else but totally forgot lol
