I have 2 13" tall pure females in their 3rd week of flowering over in a corner of a basement underneath my Waterbed's HeadBoard.. a Crawl space of 4'L x 1'W x 2' 1\2"H. i hung a Double Tube Flo Fixture above, that's 2 24" flo tube 20 watts each, plus 2 33 watt Gro n Sho Sticks On each side,, Basic:106 watts. I have thermometer that averages 75F Air temp in center grow area, but Soil temp is about 60 65F, not good, ,. everything is Light proof, Nice and reflective all around the inside.

:Problem
Pots are sitting on "chill or cool Temp" starting at layer of cement,carpet,and i placed a 3\4" thick wood panel on top of carpet.. still makes soil and roots too cool to grow and normal rate... Not to mention that 2 sides of the area are the brick walls..... i need a heating mat****** anyone know where i can hook up with something like that... one that is Flat and 1' x 2'. 65 to 95 Degree flexibility.
Thanks!
Peace Out.
Im working on a Quick simple Graph to post here for my 1st time setup "so i can learn plant behavior and its environment" and make them live as long as i can deep through flowering.... when i move out of my dad's im gonna have a bad ass setup.

MMM
try getting your pot completely off the floor and on something so that any warm air can circulate under it.

buy two heating pads like the kind for your back...one for each plant.....cheap and should work.

hope this helped

Why not use foam panelling?? (the stuff you put on the outside of a foundatoin on a house) It's pink or blue in colour and has a great "R" rating. Put a slab of this stuff under your pots. You can pick a sheet up at your local hardware store, building store, or a scrap piece from a construction site.

Good luck,

HELP NEEDED!
permalink

Mr. Green...
im a french Canadian that moved to the usa. i lived here for 8 years and never heard the term "R" rating what is it?
as for foam slabs.. will shorten the height of my grow area.
Great Idea Though! i might use it one day.


**************HEATING MATS**************

My
Pots
where can i get Heating mats or A Heating mat?? to keep my Medium nice and cozy which roots love. Name me a few Market Stores!> please..... i cant order from Net sites, in my mind its against My law. until i may one day come across something i must have and cannot get anywhere within a radius of 200 miles of my folk house, then i might "Net Shop" once or twice. when i search for goods i try to get a street address. notice that most sites are just driven by regular everyday people. So they do not have Addresses. only a site. what good is that when u have to pay rediculous price on shipping.

************HELP NEEDED******************


Peace & Smoke OUT!

hrmm... the only thing that's striking a bell in my mind
is.. a waterbed heater. about 1'x2', long plug, controllable temp, and it bends (and waterproof) .. i think it's perfect for your situation.
if there's a bed store or whatever in your 'hood you might be in luck. they shouldnt be more then 20 bucks.. (i think)

These are crazy expensive, like $60. Regular heating pads for people can be found at US stores like Wal Mart, K MArt, Target etc., and are also water proof as they get sweated on an awful lot. I cant believe they cost more than $10-15.
BTW, you may want to buy an extra for your clone chamber. Theyre great there too

Try going to a local pet store and ask for reptile heating pads. They come in all different sizes and should be relatively inexpensive. Hope that helped

DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC BLANKET, OR A HEATING PAD DESIGNED FOR HUMANS! YOU WILL ELECTROCUTE YOURSELF!

Rule #1: Keep water and electricity seperated.

Try going to your local garden shop and finding a heating pad for plants.

I have actually used an electric heating bed-ad for dogs and cats. But you have to keep an eye on the temp, because these things are made for animals who's average temperature is 102 F.

The thing that these two have in common is there ability to keep water and electricity separate.
Has anybody ever heard a story about someone growing there own dope burning their own house down? I have. Be safe out there.
