hey nick i got a question for ya.
so this is the first grow i have done with a carbon filter. the exhaust and filter are in the back of the flowering room air is exchanged 3 times a minute.. the entrance to the room is sealed wit plastic with zippered openings. a gap of about an inch and a half between the floor and bottom of plastic allow for new air. my basement is cold so the temp below canopy level never reaches above seventy. the plants in the back(12 ice and 12 chronic) seem to not be effected but the front group (kcbrains)where the air enters rooom seems to be stunted... is root temp my problem. the air blasts the pots of the front group. if so what is lowest ideal temp? temp at canopy level is between 75-78 wit lights on. off drops to 55-60....
if that cold air is blasting right at the pots it could be cooling the dirt and the roots to much...roots like to be warm..not hot, just cozy...if you got a small heater on a thermo to blow at the pots keeping them warm when lights off would not be a bad idea...:leaf:

thanks bro. i was thinkin about the heater but since the air is exchanged three plus times a minute i dont know if it would help. i actually posted this question as a thread and got no response. so what i did was take a comforter and fold it in half and staple it to the side walls so it hung between the inside of the plastic door way and the pots so air flow could still be exchanged but insulate the pots at the same time. it actually worked as far as keeping pots warm. i just wanted to make sure that i was correct in thinking that cold pots and roots stunted the front layer of plants... by the way nice pics and set up

What happen to you?

is everything ok?

How are thing going?
have hear anything since 3/09 did you finish your harvest?
:hump: yeah im ok, thanks for asking. just got really busy in the real world and didnt have time to get on here and update. yes i am a ball dropper. the crop came through at almost 2lbs, im sure it would have been better if i didnt have to fight powdery mildew at 3-4 weeks, but after investing in a sulpher burner this time around i shouldnt have another big speedbump like last time.....:joint::joint:
