Could my heated terrarium cause tall skinny fruits?
    #14554657 - 06/03/11 08:31 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I have a heat cable running through perlite with sitting water. The cakes are usually warm to the touch, and ever since I enforced this setup, my fruits have been pretty poor, the humiditys always high and the temp is around 85 F.
And its getting enough light and fae. any thoughts?

all i know is that that is too hot.  i would say take away the heater and just grow at room temp.  do you have pics of your setup?

Your heats a little high,if you can get it back to 75 or so that would be better.Your tall skinny fruits are more than likelt caused by lack of FAE and lighting,you want a cfl in the 6500k range

Heat can cause tall skinny fruits as well. Im with ditching the heater.

I just harvested a tub and kept temps in the 60;s. They grow a little slower but thicker. Probably keeps contams from growing as well.
