So I got 6 Plants about 4 weeks into Veg. We had a cold snap for a week (down in the high 30's - low 40's every night for a week. My set up is in the attic, so they had to suffer. I think it may stunted there growth? Possible? They are currently under 4 23watt Full Spectrum (1680 lum's a piece) 4 23watt Daylight (1680 lum's a piece) and 1 105watt Full spectrum (6200 Lumens). The lights are roughly 2-4 inches from the tops. They are very lush and green and getting bushy, but they are only about 6-8 inches tall, and seem to be growing out not up. I know flower usually doubles the sizes right? I want to cut clones off of all of them, but if the growth is stunted will the clones growth be stunted as well?

they are in 6 inch net cups buried deep. Should I pull them up a bit? Using Foxfarm Hydro Big Grow, SuperThrive and Recently tried Messenger, not seeing huge effects from Messenger.

Thanks
C.

Low temperatures at night are OK down to about 60 degrees outdoors, then start to effect the growth in a big way. Mid 50s will cause mild shock and 40s will kill your plants with repeated exposure. Keep your plants warm, especially the roots. Elevate pots if you think the ground is sucking the heat out of the roots. This is an issue if you have a slab or other type of cold floor.

P.S. I like the mylar like covering you use for the netpots, it looks sweet.

Plant temperature is important. Root temperature is critical. Consider getting some sort of insulation blankets for your pots. If the plants are still alive they will recover. But, consider heat. In most parts of the country, attic heat, in the summer, will kill your plants. 85 deg F. shuts off the plants. 90 deg F. is critical. 95 deg F. is dead.

Thanks guys! They are still alive. Well after some work, some lost there feeding tube came loose - didn't get water over night. Noticed it this morning but didnt have time to fix. So I gave the the old fashion watering and fixed the prob this eve. I had to remove them from there pots and redo the tubes and replant them. Several look good short but good. about 2 are green, but all the leaves are drooping and a few have brown spots. I added 2 more gallons of distilled water, and gave them some h2o2. Hell it is going to be in the 40's tonight and tomorrow night. But after that smooth sailing. Feeding is Thursday, was going to give them a week from that cut clones, then drain and set to flowering - wise ? bout 5 weeks old. Thanks to Pres Bush my check should be direct deposited sometime this month, (only damn good thing he has done). I was looking in ordering some Fem seeds - anybody got any good spots that ship to the U.S. ?

The mylar in that pic is actually insulation - I thought it would help with warmth and reflection. Got it at Lowes like 25ft for $12.

The Prez's stimulis check will help you buy better cannabis seeds? What a concept! Good luck on your grow.
