the lower the better in late flower but if you can keep it 50 atleast you should be fine so long as you have fans
Well this is the heater I bought: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunbeam-Compact-Personal-Heater/15126049. I put it on the lowest heat setting, it will raise your temps about 5 - 10 degrees but it will also lower your humidity 5 - 10 degrees. Your temps should stay consistant during your light and dark period. This is how I corrected my humidity, I am not sure if it will help you, but for $15.00 at walmart it is worth a shot...

Don't listen to this...If you want to do anything at walmart buy one of those dinky wall dehumidifiers for $50.. That little heater won't do much for your space but make it humid AND hot.The idea behind higher heat to lower humidity is that the moisture evaporates and exits, but in this small of a space it isn't nearly as effective. Especially since things are packed in like that. It looks like you've done a good job pruning where you were supposed to, BTW. That'll help promote air movement through the canopy and the dark places creepies like to live. It's like I said, lots of moving air, lots of air exchange and possibly a dehumidifier...
And stay on top of your under-growth.

Ive done alot of pruning since these pics were taken those were at about 20 days in. They have packed on some weight since then. Today is my 38th day. I will update with some new photos tonight. I think Im going to invest in a little dehumidifier to correct this. I deduce that it is a good long term invest me in the op aswell. TY

You're welcome. That's pretty much how I trim under my canopy.. You've got the idea. Since you're growing a SCRoG you actually want to trim everything below the screen anyway. The idea is to focus bud production across the screen. Leaving lots of under-growth is counter-productive to this method. Those dehumidifiers will work to a point but you have to empty it out quite frequently. If you upgrade your grow size any more it won't do much.. They're really just ment to hang in a closet with stagnant air, so by throwing it into an environment full of moisture and moving air makes it fill up quite fast. Keep that in mind.

I was advised by a local source of a 60ish dollar small dehumidifer at target. How often are we talking? How easy is it to clean such a device? Also I will be growing in this closet for awhile. No plans of expansion in sight yet. Ill post some pics of how they look tonight in a few minutes.
