heating grow tents
    #14389297 - 05/02/11 03:32 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

so here is the question. If I buy a grow tent it will be insulated. which means if I put a space heater outside of the grow tent, it won't transfer heat into the tent. How would I raise the heat inside the grow tent? I couldn't put a space heater inside cuase it could catch fire or fry out the heater/blow a fuse. so what are my options? I want to have a large grow, which would be on a shelving unit, inside either a closet converted into a grow tent, or a professional grow tent. either way I live in toronto and there is many months that it would be to cold to grow. I HAVE TO figure this out or I'll be stuck with an ass-load of separate fruiting chambers that all need separate humidity and heat controls and that would cost a fortune.

I think since you will have it in room temp, plus, the air will warm in the tent because it's contained, and the cakes give off heat as well. I think you will be fine

In winter, I have used a space heater blowing right into the greenhouse, controlled by a thermostat.

room temp is 15c in my place. people seem to forget its still going to -0 at night here. Also I have a nazi landlord that keeps the temperature low so I have to figure it out without changing the temperature for the whole house:mad2:

either way, whatever heat they fruit at. I would like to know the answer and people keep answering my question with "use room temp" thats fine, but what I want to know is how to raise heat in a humid tent. Can someone PLEASE just answer the question. I know shrooms can grow in room temp, but I wasn't asking that. I don't mean to bitch but this is my second time posting this becuase people keep going off topic, and it never gets answered.

oops... I didn't see that message there. Ok so I figure maybe I need to change my questions. With the humidity around %95-%100 like you do during the formation of primordia (pins) how do you keep your heater and lights from burning out? do you use certain appliances that withstand the humidity? Does the humidity just seam to not effect your appliances? I'm just worried about putting a heater or a set of lights in a very humid "growroom" and leaving the house. Next thing I know the house burns down, and they find a mushroom grow op. No one wants that:sad:

Ive grown many shrooms in the same spot without any issues.  15C in toronto never used anything but mono's or martha's:shrug:

In the winter I get denser bigger thicker fruits than the summer

?Hopefully I cam get this figured out. A friend just finished making me a shelf out of plexi glass. I'm floating between using a closet lined with vapour barrier plastic sheets. put the shelf in there with some sort of a humidification/heating system. The other option is a grow tent. I just worry about the humidity doing something to the lights or heaters. Are there lighting systems made for that high of a humidity that anyone knows of. Or am I over worrying?

I think you are trying to reinvent the martha
Or click here and type in martha or watever else you want to ask.  Just about any question you have or will ever think of asking usually has been asked at some point or another.

Or if you have any other questions you could always click here and ask the AMU for great info
