Make sure when the heater blows it is not at the plants but heat the room. I don't think you want it that cold because that would be like fall temps and the plant might be thinking am i supposed to flower and slow your veg.

Your photos are fuzzy. If you have a macro setting on your camera use it for close-ups. That is a cool 3 headed monster you have there. :peace:

what do you think, could the cold temps, stress the plants or send the plants,hermie?.

hope all the colas on this one would grow into one.

Cold can cause stress and damage and if its to cold even death.
Is there no way that you can build a temporary box with plywood in your garage and then insulate the exterior of the box with polystyrene sheets?
This wouldnt cost much and would save you a lot of worry. :blsmoke:

yea...the blue high density insulation foam they use of the exterior of buildings beneath the final exterior cover? I expect that would be very effective.....I am always amazed at the "little" amount that is required to make a difference in temp.....I have been in a quinzhee with a single candle and maintained +12C inside.....though even without the candle it can be -40C outside and be +3-4C inside.......pretty nice when the weather get nasty and you have to make shelter quickly...to stay alive.

Exactly as tahoe said a small temporary shelter thats insulated will cost no where near as much as losing your plants to the cold and works really well and takes very little skill to build. :blsmoke:

could i rap or tape somthing to insulate it, like the stuff, that goes round an boiler"jacket" so to speak. at the moment ive been putting about 8 big old curtains,and blankets. to try to insulate, and now ive got the other lite on in a different closet, but it helps keep the garsge a little warmer,than when its not on.

todays pics, there doing fine, now i moved the lite higher and also raised the plants, and also last nite the garage didnt get to cold, the temps were 60. got to be better than 40deg.
here are the plants .how do they look.

tahoe58 · Jan 13, 2008

good to hear things have improved.....I believe that the plants will much like the change from 40 to 60.....during initial flowering....mine was dropping to 55 with lights out....anmd I expect slowed them considerably.......but like anything else...change a papameter, and as a result sumthin else changes.....walk on man!
