Just a little sweetness...
Just a little light.
Just a little light.
ya, I have been running a timer on the in-line fan form my lights...trying to tweak it in just right...15 minuts off and 45 seconds on seems to keep the room at a perfect 79. ...Then I have this little tiny heater that is the only support for the nightime...it has been getting down to 35 degrees at night too outside..... so my night temp in the grow tent is like 50 ...the plants love it. Have a big swing in day/night temp is amazing. It is called Thermoperiodism if you feel like doing a research on the process. Grape growers swear by it.I feel the dwc will take off soon..its gonna be COLD this next week.or so...enough I'm not worrying about the lights or a.c. for a few days...
My experience is it causes issues with pot unless you have really large containers. Bear in mind with grapes you have root systems that can be 100+ years old and going down 50 feet.ya, I have been running a timer on the in-line fan form my lights...trying to tweak it in just right...15 minuts off and 45 seconds on seems to keep the room at a perfect 79. ...Then I have this little tiny heater that is the only support for the nightime...it has been getting down to 35 degrees at night too outside..... so my night temp in the grow tent is like 50 ...the plants love it.

I too thought I read that fluctuations in day/night was not desirable. have not researched it.My experience is it causes issues with pot unless you have really large containers. Bear in mind with grapes you have root systems that can be 100+ years old and going down 50 feet.
Too cold of a res is just as bad as too hot in DWC. Hell I'd say you hit too cold faster than too hot as you move away from ideal. You can pump H2O2 into the res steadily if you need to on hot days.
That suggests a 10-15F drop which means that you really don't want to be under 60 and probably better around 65 if you're running ~77F.http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/weather/tempeffect-plants.html
I have argued this point too much on other forums. I will just post this link and you guys can believe in science or not. LOL, I was in math class on Thursday and this girl says she wants to study water erosion. I said, 'OH ya, thats cool, I learned something about that on Discovery channel, I guess the sphinx is much much older than we originally thought.'.... To which my math teacher replies " Don't believe everything THEY tell you. Discovery channel makes stuff up. They use methods for dating that are not proven"
oh boy I thought.... like what? fucking carbon dating? That dude only won a Nobel prize. Oh, or water erosion?
obviously the man is a Christian and believes the earth is only 10,000 years old. What I have learned from my years is NEVER argue with a Christian about history or science. They are already brainwashed. Part of Brainwashing is when people argue your logic it only adds fuel to the fire of ignorance.
So with that being said. I recommend you research thermoperiodism. And from looking at some near harvest pics on here, and not to mention names, I highly recommend this sight as well. To clean up your yellowing issues at harvest time.

but hey to each his own ..right?
good, now to walk you a little further down this path of logic... a 30 degree drop is posited, by Horticulturists and marijuana growers alike (UB for one) is preferred by marijuana.That suggests a 10-15F drop which means that you really don't want to be under 60 and probably better around 65 if you're running ~77F.
