I would agree but a low of 33 degrees and 36 tomorrow night is freakishly cold for this time of year. After tomorrow night the lows are 49 - 52 for the night. So maybe the space heater is jumping the gun for the short term. My plants have just started to flower. So I have a feeling I will be busting out a heater sometime before they get done. I would hate to come this far and end up with nothing. It was shitty enough that all but two of my plants were male.
It looks like this could be a record cold tonight. The previous is 37 degrees. Once things get back to normal should I remove the plastic until cold sets in again? Here is my frost advisory...
...FROST ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM TO 8 AM EDT
TUESDAY...

33 degrees when I woke up this morning. I took the scenic route to work this morning to drive near my plants. It was 38 at 7:00am there so im sure there ok, but damn its only the first week of sept. There calling for the same shit tonight.
I guess podunk wasnt jumping the gun sheltering his girls this early.
Im pretty sure that I need about 5 more weeks for mine to finish.

I have been thinking about trying to make a cheap PVC hoop house. The current setup was just to get through this freak frost we had. I already have a big roll of plastic. I only need it to be 5'x3.5'x5.5' tall. My only worry is humidity and bud rot. Is their a simple solution to control moisture? Not sure if a small clip fan and a vent of some sort at the opposite end will get the job done? I also have the isobar with a timer built in that I am not using yet. I need something that can be unattended Monday - Friday. Ideas welcome...
BTW the heat wires work really well. Yesterday morning when I went out to pull the sheet of the top it was nice and warm inside. It does burn the leaves a bit. Small black spot where it touches (kept that to a minimum). Nothing real bad just noticeable discoloration. If I can get the hoop house setup I will move the wire to run around the posts and not zig zag through the plants.

LANSING Nearly a thousand medical marijuana advocates remained at the Capitol this afternoon as many of them called for a recall of Attorney General Bill Schuette for what they see as his assault on patient rights.
Holding a sign that read: "Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse," Steve Sharpe of Jackson County was among many medical marijuana patients today who faulted the attorney general for backing a series of proposed laws they believe will weaken their ability to obtain the herb.
Those laws include more closely regulating the doctor-patient relationship.
"He's trying to judge from his office. He's not upholding the law," said Sharpe, 52. "If he was upholding the law, we wouldn't be out here today."
Officials of the Attorney General's office could not be immediately be reached for comment today.
ORIGINAL POST
LANSING -- More than a thousand medical marijuana advocates are gathered at the Capitol to rally against what they see as a rising assault on the state's medical marijuana law passed in 2008.
The rally comes two weeks after the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that the 2008 ballot measure does not allow dispensaries to sell marijuana to patients. As a result, more than 20 dispensaries in Lansing closed their doors within a day or so.
Advocates say that the court ruling, along with proposed laws that more closely regulate how patients receive the drug, would create a hardship for patients who are unable to grow the herb on their own.
During the event, officials of the Michigan Medical Marijuana Association and other speakers are discussing the 2008 ballot measure and how they believe patients so far have been untreated unfairly by law enforcement authorities.
Mike Rodriguez, 36, of Kalamazoo, was among the picketers who believe that authorities have been too heavy handed in targeting legitimate medical marijuana users. Rodriguez said he is a caregiver who grows marijuana in his home for three patients.
"If you're going to regulate it, regulate it," he said. "Don't throw patients in jail for buying marijuana."
The ballot measure approved the use of marijuana for patients to relieve pain and address chronic illnesses, as long as the use is approved by a doctor. More than 95,000 people in Michigan are now authorized to use the herb, according to state officials

Medical marijuana advocate wins OK to launch recall drive targeting Attorney General Bill Schuette

MIDLAND -- A medical marijuana advocate has won on his third try the right to circulate recall petitions against Attorney General Bill Schuette.
The Midland County Election Commission voted 3-0 today that the latest petition, which targets Schuette's stand on the state's medical marijuana law, was written clearly for voters to understand. Schuette is a Midland Republican.
Richard C. Clement Sr, 54, of Lansing has petitioned twice before, but failed to win an OK.
"I just didn't give up," he said after the brief hearing. Clement is a member of the Michigan chapter of the National Organization for the
Richard C. Clement Sr.
Reform of Marijuana Laws. "There wasn't a lawyers only sign over the courtroom. The law is for the people, and no one should be afraid."
Rusty Hills, a spokesman for Schuette, said the attorney general will focus on what voters elected him to do.
The attorney general is going to continue to do the job that he was elected to do, and that is protect the public, defend the laws and uphold the Constitution, he said.
Hills declined to comment directly about the petitions allegations that Schuette has failed to uphold the state's medical marijuana law.
Clement and his backers will have to gather 807,000 signatures of registered voters to demand a recall election. "This is going to take lots of money, but most of all it's going to take heart," Clement said.
He said he might post the petition online and ask people to download and distribute it to collect signatures.

So did anyone else have to deal with frost earlier this week? I am heading back up this afternoon for the weekend. Its been beautiful weather since the frost "says the wife". Hopefully we don't see that again for a long while. Low to mid 50's for the evening lows.
Does the cooler air slow down flowering, speed it up, or do nothing (not talking about frost)? Would their be any advantage to running the heat wire when its in the upper 40's and 50's at night? I want to do everything I can to keep things moving along before it gets too cold. Don't want to run out of time. Will post pics when I get up this weekend. Hoping to see some progress. I didn't expect them to take so long to start to flower.

No frost for me in the tip of the mit. There calling for a cold front and rain next week. The rain and clouds should keep the night temps from dropping.
I bit the bullet and bought some fox farm tiger bloom the finish out the season. Every store in town was out of marical grow bloom so I didnt really have a choice. Any of you guys use this stuff?

I've used it for my indoor but only with the entire feeding schedule. Should work just fine for you though. A friend of mine is having some success with the AN time release pellets designed for outdoor. They worked great for vegging and they also make a flower (Fall) too.

I used the Fox Farm Trio for indoor last year. I got nute burn each time by the time I started flowering. My plants were not huge and I did not have much experience. The second time around I was careful and used a lot less than what the chart recommended and still got some nute burn (not nearly as bad as the first time around). I didn't kill any of them but the first grow got pretty crispy!
This time around I mixed my soil with bone/blood meal, worm castings and some composted manure. For veg I used a little bit of some cheap fertilizer high in N from Meijer. For the last few weeks I have been using a couple table spoons of Sunleaves Indonesian Bat Guano (0.5-12-0.2) and nothing else. I am going to start adding a tablespoon black strap molasses with it this week. They look healthy so I am hesitant to add any bloom booster/nutes. I also picked up a 20# bag of worm castings yesterday. So its going to be castings, molasses, and bat guano. Before I transplanted them from grow bags to the ground I top dressed with the worm castings. Should I top dress again, mix it in the water with the guano and molasses, or do both? I don't think you can have to much worm castings.
