Is 67/68 degrees too cold?

On camera it still looks purple… so I guess it’s still blurple… just brighter and cranked all the way up. Temp is rising slightly… gonna check on it again in 30, and see if I crossed into the 70s

I also put my seedling matt under two smaller plants. But I don’t think that’s gonna move the needle.

By keeping the roots warmer it will absolutely help. How much remains to be seen.

Beach towels under the mat make a big difference

That interesting, I'd be curious to see specs. I found an Instagram page but no details all from 2018ish

So, cranking it all the way up, did bring me up into the 80s. Sitting at 80 even right now… wonderful!

That's fantastic news! I'd maybe see what that light does before buying an HID? Not sure what others think.

320 / 16 sq ft is only 20w/sq ft. that's a bit undersized for a 4x4 unless you don't use the whole tent. it doesn't look like a cheap-o blurple to me

I’m thinking the same thing.

That's awesome. I didn't know they made huge ones like that. Does it raise the air temp too or just the pots? I couldn't imagine it raising my air temp when I have my exhaust fan running 24/7 but it's still hella cool.

It does raise the air temps 7-8 degrees. The mat itself can get up to 84F @ 105w. Closed up in the tent with extraction on lowest setting holds humidity pretty well too. Humidity is low outside, so I’m venting back into the room. I cleaned the tent floor tray today, and decided to take the mat out. Temps are at 74F / 54% rh. The plants seem to be ok.

It’s REALLY bright thought when I crank it all to white… that won’t hurt my ladies, will it?

Not if you don't have it too close.

I'd say get an app on your phone but don't think it would work with that spectrum.

Interesting light though

Again you are FINE with that light. Blurple are blue for veg then blast white for flower. Respect the light, back it down til flower.

Still really low watts/square foot but he's in a better place than when the tread first started, that's for sure.

True. I noticed when I crank extraction fan/filter on, it sucks all the humidity out… and also… it sucks the walls in (negative pressure?) and almost becomes a 3x3. Tent def becomes smaller when the fan is on.. that’s normal right?

Mine does this as well, but I have a variable speed controller on mine so it doesn't suck it in too bad. What fan do you have for extraction?

Agreed. Looks like OP has a burple cob?

Again.. was all part of this setup… came with it… no branding… it’s pretty legit. But I don’t see any low/high setting on it. Just one (pretty high) speed

Hahah! We’ll shit, then I’m doing pretty good if that’s newbie status.

Can you take some pictures of the fan and any connectors it has?
I'm trying to determine if you can use a pwm controller or an inkbird to get a little more control over the fan so it's not just running 24/7 at full speed.

It’s hung… but let me go take some detail shots if I can. 1 sec
