    Question Attic Growing

    I recently started growing in my attic (this is my first time growing). The plant just sprouted like three days ago but the temperature drops below 60 on some nights. I already have several fluorescent bulbs shining on it but I was wondering if I could shine a regular light bulb on it too just to keep it warm. Could I do this or would the regular light bulb harm the plant?

    for now you can leave the light on 24/7 till you want to flower her. so yes def keep a light on and you might want to go get a cheap little space heater with temp settings on it to keep it a good temp at night.

    You can use a regular bulb to make heat, just do'nt burn the plants with it. But duriong flowering youll need to have total darkness, so i'm guessing youll have the lights on at night when its cooler.

    You're sure that the regular bulb won't in any way harm the plant?

    If I were you just have your dark period during the day and the light period during the night that way during the day you dont have to worry about heat build up and at night you dont have to worry about your plants getting to cold. I would put a higher watt incandecent light bulb for heat or go to wal-mart or pet store buy a clamp light and some lizzard heaqt lamps just get the black ones it will give off a dark purple light and will not mess with your girls since they will not absorb it.

    hey since your in the attic and your in the vegg cycle just do your lights 24 hrs on. I've seen some very fast growth rates from this and it will also keep your plant warm at night. What type of lights are you using right now on it?
