Cold weather problems inside?

I forgot all about something under the pots. I even have to do that in my basement. I use a piece of scrap insulated panel under my pots. The roots on the cold concrete floor was giving me issues.

Yes, my pants are up off the floor, I have a wood pallet laid down with kinda a flat table top thing, it's perfect for how I drain my extra water and run off.

Wouldn't worry about the drying right now. Use your heater now to get as close to optimal temps as you can. Your plants look great! Then when it comes to drying, use the heater very little. maybe on a timer.

A thermostat if your heater doesn't already have one. You'll just be guessing with a timer.

I was referring to drying. There is no need for heater on thermostat while drying. Last thing one needs is warm dry air blowing around in the drying room.

Do you mean you have a thermometer? I'm talking about a thermostat that you can use to control the heater.

Yeah, I guess a thermometer. It's a digital one that shows temp and humidity in my room

When drying being able to control the temp is even more important.

My humidity out in my grow shed right now is 80, and the tempiture is at 54 degrees. Just went out their and hooked my heater up so I will see how it changes within the next 3 hours

Should I have fans on and my heater??
I have 1000 watt HPS that has a intake fan hooked up to it so it's cooling the light down constantly and pulling a tiny amount of air out of the room. Temp right now is 54, humidity is 80

I disagree . RH is #1 We have all dried bud when its 32 or below out side.

I don't dry my buds outside so I don't see the relevance. There's a sweet spot for rh and temp for drying.
