low temp issues with pics
    #19118976 - 11/11/13 03:53 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

ok im having problems pinning due to low temps. was just wondering if i ran a 60w light bulb thats encased in a metal box with a fan for heat, if the small amount of light that escapes would effect my pinning if i run it 24/7?

They will still fruit at those temps. I think the light is too much tbh but they will still be fine.

All youre really going to do is get rid of one problem by creating another. You dont have a space heater or anything?

nope no space heater unfortunately. besides thats a walk-in closet that things in, a space heater would super heat that room really fast plus a not to mention the fire hazard of clothes and space heater ya know. that little box i came up with heats the chamber at a rate of .5 degrees every 5 min till it hits 75f then shuts off till it hits 70f what if i just found a way to kill the light coming out of it maybe that would work

Buy a aqua heater. You can get them pretty cheap at walmart and they work great.

Temperature is not your problem.

Is there a door on that FC? If so, how are you providing FAE?

No door, then your subs are drying out.

Balancing FAE and RH is a common issue with greenhouses and marthas, which is similar to what you have.

Judging from those pics alone, I'd say your whole set up is out of whack and you need help getting it dialed in.

Can you get a close up of one of those subs? are any of them yellowing or looking dry?

dude that's a refrigerator yes there's a door lol. i have a impeller style humidifier that blows in and openings in the back for air to leave and enter the whole thing is plumbed up with 2" PVC, lights,misters,fans, fogger's all running on a micro controller. during warmer months its worry free i never have to touch it other than harvesting. but the cold is presenting a problem it seems. and no i have no issue with balancing my RH and FAE. and no my subs are not dryed out. they are just not pinning.

Just trying to help.

From the pics, I can't see PVC plumbing or openings. I can only see humidifier, fans, and lights.

Based on the pics, it looks like you would only be circulating air around without introducing FAE.

I couldn't tell it's a refrigerator or if there is a door that goes on it.

Good luck to you. I hope you figure it out.

I've never seen a Fridge FC. Doesn't reflect light to the top of the sub well.
