having heat issues please help + rep for help

hey RIU,

well it is winter time now as everone knows.. and where i live it is -17.. and i am having heat issues in my G-room... when light is on it stays at about 13 to 16 deg Cel or 55 F to 60 F,, my babies have stopped growing and im thinkin its cuz its not warm enough in the room... does any one have any advice on how to heat it up so they will grow again.......i was either thinkin a little heater but i dont wanna raise my power bill a lot,,,,,,,i have also thought about gettin the heating pads for clones and puttin my babies on those,,, will that keep the soil warm enought for them to grow untill flowering time?

if anyone has any other thoughts or ideas to what would work please share!!! + rep for help

thanks

hi, youll have a few options, but if you give more info like size of room/area, set up etc then might be able to help,

I have a similar problem but it's not that cold here.

I have an Air Cooled Hood for my light. To warm up my grow box I shunt a portion of the warm exhaust back into my grow box.

I warms up significantly. I just use "Duct Tape" and a piece of ducting to capture the warm air and return it to the box.

Hope this helps

ok here is my set-up.... i have a Better Than Nature 400HPS with a Hortilux Bulb running for vegg and flowering cuz i dont have a MH....the box is roughly 4feet W by 4feet L by 6.5feet H... for fans i am just using 6inch desk fans and they work fine for air flow... i got a 10inch oscillating fan in the G-room to circulate the air.... no cool tube for light

You probably will need a small heater. Look around for a 300 watt (about the smallest I've seen with a thermostat) , that's about 1000 btu's.

Also, make sure you have you pot elevated off the floor a couple of inches.
