My first grow cfl all the way

it was already dead so i dint transplanted it.

well i have found a problem after putiing the lights in the grow room and turning them on for 6 hours the temps are good but wen the lights go down and no vents running at night the temps go to 10c° or 50f°. the grow room is out side in my back yard and it gets cold here at night and with humidity at 80% its cold.
what can i do to get the temps up?
Is the heat mats any good or just get a blow fan with hot air.

some pics of them taken today. day 13.

Looking good, man! I'd say a small heater should do the trick, there may not be many other options aside from moving the grow indoors. I just realized how cold the outside walls get in my apt this morning! I just about finished my box, picking up the last of the supplies tonight and will have some pics up soon I'm moving today, too, so I've got lots to do, but I hope to start catching up to you very soon! Keep it growing!!!

your plants overall are lookin good bub,
as for heat, i would have a low wattage heater to run during light off or setup on a timer
thats my opinion

here are some more pics on of them. so far i haven't add any nutes on them im thinking on using this 3 as a control group to see how tall they get and what is their average yield.

all the plants are doing good all growing i think they are mostly indica since they are still short. the plant i thought it die came back to live so i put it in 12/12 to see what comes out.
ho yah the seeds are the ones that nirvana sent as a xmas present freebies.
here is some more pics i toke today

I'd say you've definitely got some indica-dominant plants there. Those are some fat leaves. Looking good. I could get started now, but I'm waiting on a few other key pieces to add to my box and I'll be all set. Keep it up, bud!!!

dude i wouldnt use a soil with any nutes in it like that.. its harder to at ur actual nutes after. it will be hard to judge and u could give nute burn. people dont recomend soil with nutes in it. try to use a good mix of perlite vermiculite peat moss and some other. theres lots of threads on here that have there soil mix on here.

As long as you're aware the nutes are there and adjust your feeding accordingly, there is absolutely no reason to be scared of pre-nute'd soil like the dreaded Miracle Grow.

I've used MG for years with all kinds of plants, including MJ (I'm using their Organic Choice potting soil in my grow right now) and never had any issues.

you'll be straight with the time released nutes.. just remember not to over water.. nutes are released every time you water...

i have a question (probably a stupid question) can i use the ph up and down used in the fish tanks?

heres some pics of today i started to lst 2 of them yeterday here they are

OK so its day 21 in veg they are growing at a good rate (i think so) i FIm one of them and lst another they are 4 inches tall still pretty small . gonna wait one more week or two before going to flower.
or is it better to wait for a bit longer since they are indica dominant?

cant wait to start seeing some buds on them hopping that at least 2 of them are female fingers crossed hands and toes

dude the tin foil covering soil is going to cause hot spots and maybe burns parts of your leaves

hoooo gonna take it out them, maybe put some off that white thingy. just to get more reflective area.

And what you guys think about the veg time is 2 more weeks enough or more time in veg?

And regarding the ph after i scroll the 500 post or more about ph i found out that it not a prob

heres some side view fotos

really guys i really need some info in the veg time. does it look like it good for flower? i dont really know those things all my grows were outdoors so nature dictates the time.
i know i can flower wen ever i want to but i wanted to get a average yield from the plants and i have never grow indica strains all the strains i get here are African sativas.


tanks for all you support and help

another dumb question.

from witch branch do i take the clone the one with the big fan leave or the small one with side branches.

Really i have never taken a clone before

they have being doing good being growing and haven't ad any prob yet.
im using a nute with 6.3.6 and some micro nutrients. they seem to like it.
they havent ad to much vertical grow most of the grow is on the side branches.
they have 5 and half inches in height.

You could flower now if you like, and might have a decent yield... But I should point out for you that the longer you wait to flower, the more time the plant has to build up energy stores, which in the long run produces a bigger harvest, more quality buds, and you incur less deficiency towards the end of flowering when the plant turns to its energy stores to finish the buds. In reference to your question about cloning, do NOT use fan leaves. Nothing will happen besides hurting your current plant. Use only side branches from the lower part of the plant, as the lowest parts of the plant contain older hormones and have a higher success rate for rooting. I hope this helps

im going to let them veg for another 2 or 3 weeks so the branches grow a bit so i can take clones and then veg them.
