On my next LED grow I am going to set up something so they are watered from the bottom acting like a wick and see how they do.
Also do you have a seedling heat mat ? You may place that under whatever you are using for containers and put it on a timer or if you can adjust the temp use that to keep them warm at night.
I am like you in the fact I like it on the colder side and right now we are having record lows and even with three of the units running it is hard for me to keep a dead on 80.
Hey what about your air intake have you restricted it any ?

Hey sah, I am using my Exhaust fan to make Negative pressure inside the box to pulll my air for intake. So Cant restrict it as much as it is already.
I will look into the heating mat I have one for my back so I may use that and see what it will do.
Your idea of the awter comin from the bottom up sounds cool, But idk if it will work out like you want to so who knows. I will watch that one. Let me know when you do it.
So yeah this temp thing sux. Wasnt having this issue with LEDS in the Summer LOL. Too cold here and I hate it. Wish it was april so I can go do some Guerilla Growing.

--Help with the temp Problems and Just tooks some pics.
--Moved the LED Panel up about 2 inches. The plants were showing signs Like they normally do when the LEDS are too close to the plants. if you look, the leaves are a little wavy and curly. This is what happens when your Plants get to close to your LEDS. It has happend to me every time.
--Trying to raise Humidity, Checked soil like retart with sticking the stick into soil. It read 6.1 and 6.0. How can I raise this next watering?

-- Temp Issues still at night. Family turning heat off LOL
-- Watered the plant again with 3/4 to 1 whole cup of 6.3 Water
--The small runt looks like it could use some help.
--Heat Mat I think is helping out great.

Yeah man, What do you think for flowering tho?? I was thinking a DIY custom CFL hood I was gunna make with about 250-260 watts... Also put the LED panel on the side of the tent to help. I know LEDS are not any good for flowering, I dont think this will have any good penetration. What do you guys think?

The tops on the Black bucket plant seem to be really light green, how are you nuting them? It looks like a little more Nitrogen wouldn't hurt it 
but other then that I am diggin your setup and keep up the good work bro!

They are about 5 inches from the plants. The closer to the plants the better. What I do is, get the LEDS in the perfect spektrum where the blue and red blend together. Since LEDS shoot light UP and DOWN.
