If it doesn't get any colder then that then I wouldn't even worry, that's not too far off from the optimal swing... If I were you then I would grow some Purple strains because the best way to get the colors to really pop on them is to get things nice and cold in the flowering stage... I bet you could grow some beautiful colors in those temps.
good idea - was thinking about purple kush!

All seeds have sprouted as of yesterday, the whole gang made it to the party. Temps have ranged between a low of 79 and a high of 83... it's about to get colder here, lets see what things drop too shall we?

Temps didn't get out of the mid 60's here today and the low is supposed to be 40! I think I'm going to turn off the intake fan in hopes that the babies stay warm tonight.

PS ~ (much later the same day - 10:39pm): Ha! 73 degrees, though I bet by morning it will be much more chillly....

TR-my temps are dropping 25 degrees while lights off for 6 hours.... that's because it's getting down to 33 here at night. keep a close watch that they don't get too cold.

From last night.
Here are the little ladies and a few more pics of the ducting and fan configurations.... I still need to put one little piece of tape around the filter/fan connection in the last pic. and here's my fan speed controller that I'm not currently using but I'm keeping on hand in case I need to slow one of these guys down a touch. The last plant pic is a close-up of the Kush Special #1....

Thanks Daukness, appreciate you coming around.

Today before I left the ladies for the day I setup my timer to switch off everything but the 6" clip fan from 12 noon till 4:45pm. so I'm running things at about 19/5 give or take 30 minutes... now every 5 days I grow I'm saving 1 full day worth of electricity!

That's one way of looking at it TR.... god knows the electric bill is high enough with everything running all the time!

I'm keeping the lights out such a short time more for heats sake right now, things were 64f in there this morning! I need to hold onto as much heat as I can right now... every lady is looking happy though...

now I'll take that 600 please

Sounds like you're already invested but if you could use 8" ducting instead it is MUCH more efficient and fans can be run slower and therefore is more quiet.

The DR100 has me bottle necked with 6" port holes bud, I'd love to go 8" but if I did I'd still be reducing to 6" to exit the tent. When I build my own room for such, I will definitely be going with 8" ducting and light hoods all round. Thanks for the tip!

Didn't mean to put two pics of the temp,woops, humidity could be higher but the little ladies don't seem to mind. The mercury thermometer is the ambient temp outside.

Not much to report except that I have a feeling that this is going to be something extra ordinarily good...
