this is all based off how well the space is insulated if drafty the unit would almost consistently run. also assuming hes running a straight 12/12 cycle(?) the heater would run for probably 8 hours during off time, if the area was insulated well enough the other 4 hours of off time could hold the radiant heat
right on. and nonetheless, in terms of plant production from having more stable environment, warmer temps for faster enzymatic reactions and metabolism, plus not having any waste from potential issues... the 40$ a month in cost, 4 months of the year, is negligible compared to the increased efficiency of the plants and final products.

Hmmm.....I've habitated this residence for over a decade, and concluded I'd rather wear a sweater, keep the $150 a month on running the oil heater, and just top the plants. But thanks.
Another option ( dont really know if you were looking for one to begin with) would be floor heating mats like the ones used for heating tile flooring only run about 60 watts for the 5ft x 18in ones so you could put them under your pots to keep the roots warm. (which is all that really matters to an extent) these only cost about 5 dollars to run 24/7 for a month so roughly 60 a year to run 24/7/365

This calculation is wrong
I blame the website.

plus it wont even run for 8 hours.

Actually...lol...no I wasn't....just wondering if Bakersfield had any bud rot in those huge colas, but the ongoing technical info has been fascinating.



I actually prefer topping and bending. Seems to fill up the space mucho mejor.

Had it, lost it. Def need it again.

I have grown a lot of Chemdog and while Stardog no doubt is nice as well, as many other similar variations, I would have just gone with straight CD. Hope you have some plans for this. To date Rez's Chemdog bx2 and IX 4 line was the best Chem D seed I have grown period; right up there with the clones as far as quality and smell. I felt the finished IBL product was no where near as good, but also only grew 3 or 4 packs of it. Damn shame you can't get unworked and worked CD lines anymore. Would be awesome if someone out there would work this again. I would do it if not for a higher passion for other specific germplasm's currently. You seem to have a high interest in chemdog so hope you do something along those lines. Other camps clearly won't set up to the plate.

I've contemplated this purchase, recently. How much increase in monthly elec bill? Do you have a brand, model you recommend?
I just went to a local hardware store because they were the only ones who had dehumidifiers in stock at that time of the year.
Later I searched on Amazon and could have saved $40 if I was willing to wait a week. (I don't have 'prime'.)
The online reviews for the model I bought were *not* stellar. Mine has worked fine but I'm not sure I'd recommend it based on the negative experiences other people had with the same product.
Or maybe they didn't follow directions? You've gotta let it sit for 24 hours before turning it on. Not sure why.
I did what they said and haven't had any problems.

@Bakersfirld : After a few bouts with botrytis [sic] aka bud rot, I generally try to avoid those fat main colas. Not a problem for you ? I purchased a mini humidifier from Amazon a few months ago that sucks a lot of moisture out of the air, but I'm still gun shy of those howitzer colas.
I did have a bout of bud rot, last fall. Humidity and night temps are the keys to prevention. As long as my RH is below 50% and the lows stay above 60f, I've been good.

they have air conditioning units in them to be able to raise humidity and keep it at a stable RH rather than just shutting off, that's why they suggest to let it sit for 24 hours.
