lights off my room is 75 and 53% today. i dont want to exhaust outside because its gonna be very cold soon and i dont want my crazy neighbor wondering why hot air comes out my basement all night every night. i was thinking to have the outside air pulled straight into the lights instead of the room but im wondering if in 2 months when outside temps drop to -22 will that break the bulb? the high heat meeting the freezing cold....
my light setup is structured for my SB system and the design i built, im just running the mother plants thru for now while i figure out my temps and finish setting up my room.

I'm pretty sure you'll have a condensation issue. Probably cause the lights to implode. If you're drawing fresh air from outside when it's that cold, you'll have to find a way to temper it first.

I had root rot issues several weeks ago but I caught it early and I was able to save most of my plants by transferring them from aero/nft to coco. Right now I have some super lemon haze in stinks first version of the double tub veg system. My roots are not white but some are darker color and I thought it may be due to the dark nutes of my canna veg A and rhizotonic. I put 2 frozen 2-liter bottles in the morning and at night to keep the Rez cool. I want to do my perpetual in aero/nft but might have to go to coco to avoid root rot. Oh and I also run Dutch masters zone.

After talking with @ttystikk, I've worked up the courage to start using scrog. Picked up the necessary pieces to adapt the Stinkbud style pvc racks to have an adjustable screen made out of pvc frame & mason twine as the screen. Making them with 2" holes in screen. I'll snap some photos once the transition is complete. Also topped some of my vegging plants to get them workable for the new style.

Why not just a simple dwc bucket?

I'm not changing the grow style, just the rack itself a bit to have a supported screen that I can adjust up with growth. Just trying to level out my plant growth. Not quite sure what your saying about a dwc bucket.

Oh ok never mind what I said. I thought you was going to just grow on plant via scrog that's why I Mentioned the dwc bucket.

@sky rocket all good bud. I'm just trying to get things setup so that when I increase plant count by taking on patients. That this system is running great, and we cycle thru the 72 plant capacity growing top notch heavy buds. My 2 seeds that were sold as Grape Ape Barney Farm (out of Amsterdam)that I started to germinate Wed night popped yesterday. So I've got them in Rapid footer plugs now, and really curious if they are legit or what mystery strain I have. On a side note, Tangie by Reserva Privada is such a lovely smelling plant. I'd love a whole tent full of that plant.

I grew tangie last year and she really does smell like citrus oranges. The closest thing I have have to grape right now is my current pheno hunt of rare dankness rare darkness ( grape ape x rare dankness #1). I'm searching for that grape dark flavor. I have 20 regular plants right now. Trying to find a keeper for 2016. I'm about to flower the first 10

So what happens when you bring Kids to pickup supplies. Well, you end up with neon color twine. But here's where I'm going with my netting. Roughly a 2' × 4' under the T5, and the 4 plants can't wait to test it. I'll be finishing up 2 more screens that are 3.5' × 3.5' that will go over each flowering unit.

So I'm a little perplexed.about a week ago I traded some Pineapple kush for Gigabud with a local caregiver here. Wasn't sure about it at first, had very little to no effect. Well upon digging into the big bud last night I come across a very browned out leaf area. There be a seed in there, a hard viable seed. This catches my eye so now I'm digging thru this thing, and have to say it was a seedy bud. Do I try to trade some more, and see if its a one plant or one bud accident? Just feel bad for his patients if that is his every day kind of product.

thanks for the input, i wont be pulling in air when it gets that cold, dont want condensation on electrical equipment... hopefully temps drop in the basement around that time to help out. ive changed up my air flow since the last post, took some advice from Path of Light, now im pulling air from my veg room passing it through the lights and dumping it in the laundry room to remove most of the heat. its working great, temps are perfect, but the damn humidity still drops from above 50 to low 20's when i pull in outside air, and temps get too high if i dont... i dont seem right that im putting 2 gallons of water into the air with my humidifier every day...
