Those work really well too.
That's what I used during previous winters and mine had digital thermostats built in.
Growing in the garage works out pretty well this time of year. It definitely helps if the garage is finished and insulated.
It's nice to be able to run lights during the day again and the heat generated by HID bulbs is welcome.
Controlling smell is the biggest challenge -- even with a carbon filter. :leaf::shock::leaf:

What's with all this complaining about a cross not looking identical to a single parent? Do you guys look identical to your parents? I'm by far the tallest in my family by at least half a damn foot and at least 30kg's lighter than everyone else. Most people are surprised that they're even my parents. Genetics don't give a damn about your expectations
Hey look, just cause we can put together an aritificial environment to grow plants doesn’t mean we also learned about genetic inheritance and expression.

Everyone complaining about plants grown from seed that don’t meet their expectations should inform themselves on the above. Remember kids, breeding hybrids together will cause a lot of unique genetic expression by way of recombination. It is a numbers game when growing hybrid cultivars. I wouldn’t expect most of the GPS Wild West cultivars to show all phenotypic expression in just one pack of seeds. My suggestion is to pick up a pack of crosses with parents you know you’ll enjoy. Grow out the pack then decide if you want to invest more time and money hunting for that golden child. If you’re hunting fewer than 30 seeds of an F1 polyhybrid you’ll need to produce F2 seeds to hunt a proper number of seeds and find a 90+ percentile genotype.

Buy a good brand like eheim jager, and use a temp controller to run it. My eheims lasted years, the built in thermostats are crap imo which is why a temp controller is great.
Thank you. I don't need one for fish tanks but I have a couple of 50gal res. that my RO unit fills. In the winter, the water temps drop. I've used a couple of those cheap tetra submersibles but they either burn out or get way to hot.
I'm installing drip lines and need something dependable. (water was at 76f this morning)

I'll check that brand out your recommended.
Thanks again

I flip mine too but it does require good scrubbers.

An old farming couple we're friends with exhaust theirs into their chicken coop. Keeps them all warm and cozy through the winter. Happiest damn chickens ya ever seen.

I used to have saltwater tanks like evergreengardner and know what your talking about.
The eheim Jager is a good German design that's reliable and cheap. A temp controller is a must IMO cuz all the built in thermostats will fail.
Cobalt makes one called neotherm which is also really good but more expensive.

Final CnC dry weight 149 grams. 5.32 zips. From a 2gal. The smell is kindve coming back. The main cola after I cut off the big stem is 51.3 grams. Now if the cure helps the high, alot of the trichs are turning amber. So heres to fingers crossed.
Everything but main cola is in jars. Going down for 21 days. Hoping it helps.

WhyteWidow the cure might just bring it back, I can remember the old cats around here talking about this very subject. I remember them saying if a plant hadn't been down long or cured well the moisture level could be a tab bit high and the water vapors entrap the cannabinoids or whatever and don't let them come into contact with your lungs. Idk , made sense to me.

I have had many many plants completely lose smell after hang drying and then after 10 days in the jar come back very strong. Most of the time it is because the humidity was too high when drying and then you can really fuck it up by putting them in the jar too early. It is paramount to dry and to cure in a humidity controlled room. You can get away with not doing this lots of times but there is always that bad time of the year you just happened to be harvesting at effecting the environment or just incorrectly deciding when to jar them. No smell in a jar from a plant that reeks has always been my fault if it hasnt come back in 10 days. You can usually tell by the odd changing of color on the bud to slightly/barely noticeable brown and sometimes a sourness to it. It's toast at that point and never coming back as moisture has caused it to grow molds even if you can't see it you would be able to under a scope.

It was dried the same way I dry everything else. In a built humidor. The temp stays within 5° up or down. Bounces from 61 to 66 degrees. And humidity is steady as it's set with my wireless sonoffs on a dehumidifier on bottom and extraction fans on top. I've nvr had problem with it. As long as my cab stays shut it stays 56-57% humi. Unless I open it. Which I do once a day to rotate hanging buds. From top to bottom. And it goes right back to those within 15-20 mins.

Good shit! ^^
I had to learn this the hard way by fucking up close to a pound of what would have been good smoke.
Buds were put into jars too early and excess moisture overwhelmed the boveda humidity packs. I didn't notice for a few days and the jars had settled so much, the top third was void space.
I didn't actually see any mold, so I dumped everything out and dried it again before putting it in jars for the second time.
The only smell left was like a REALLY dank basement.

On the bright side...

I've made several batches of cannabutter with the fucked up weed and it's fantastic!
Seriously.

My brownies have zero cannabis smell or taste but are extra potent.

Im in LOVE with OBS. i have a creamsicle type and i just went to the store to get the ice cream. Damn near identical. Real yielder too!!
That's what my pheno of obs smelled like. Straight orange cream cicle. I kept a mother of it. And was great overall smoke. I gave it an 8 outta 10. Wouldve been higher but she was a tad finicky at onset of flower. And didnt like any type of nutes at first. Then once she started stretching she ate like a cow. I still have a clone of OBS. Did away with the mother bc I found an intense orange flavored goji cross from @thenotsoesoteric pr I'd still have a mother of it. It did help tremendously with pain. Smoking it mixed some Charlotte's Web. When I broke my back. And was down for 3 months. I used those two instead of opiates. Yield was decent. I think i got 3.5 zips from a 2gal. And actually jus finished smoking the last of last weekend.

Edit:
Orange dream cicle pheno I took her to 76 days. But couldve been taken st 66-68 I let go a tad longer bc I wanted the heavy buzz from alot of amber trichs to see if it would help my back and it did.
