Ok fellow friends let me kick off with something im wanting to know! if you have read my grow thread you may be aware ive having probs with cold night temps and ESP the pots and plants rootzone! i usually use a heater but cant fit one in this grow anyhow herb advised me to look at tube heaters so i did today and ive just got delivery of my new x2 4ft tube heaters and a digital thermo controller! ok so wot im wanting to know is wot is the best temp to set the controller too, to keep the plants and there root,zones happy? thanks in advance for any info/help!

I would put the temps at around 70 degrees. I think I read that you have organic this run, is that correct? If so the reason I say 70 degrees is that MicrobeMan says that a temp of 65-72 degrees is optimum for the bacteria and fungi to be happy in a good compost tea so it stands to reason that the same temps would be ideal for your soil too. I could be wrong though, hopefully somebody smarter than I will step up and help ya.

How close are they to the pots ?
I would say 20 celcius and see what your night temps go down to and adjust accordingly

My night time ambient is 20 in the flower room and too cold in mom room 16ish

also depends where that stat is put

great idea for a thread hemperor i am also looking for the same answers.

i feed my soil plants water at 21c

but i was wanting to no how too keep my root zone at the correct temp

what about food temperature probe placed in the soil

my thermo hygrometer reads 19c at root zone

I would say just plug them tubes in and leave. Wouldn't bother with the thermostat to be honest. You'll prob find they will always be on. I leave mine on constant. They are only 180w so they literally just keep things warm... And so long as they are not touching the pots, you can get them pretty close.

my ambient night temps have been hitting 16! i suspect at pot level even lower, i can deff notice the negative affect mainly not drinking as fast as they normally do! i only took this house just before summer which is why i aint dialed in already! as this is my 3rd grow but the first over the winter period! im going to put the sensor at pot level i think! just wanted to know best temps is all, now i do ill figure it out! with there being 9 plants in a square im gunna put 1 of each tube down the centre 2 rows! ive already realised that the middle row is going to a have a tube either side with the 2 outer rows only getting warmth from 1 side so ill place the tubes closer to both outside rows just to balance them getting the same amount of warmth! thanks fog!

is there an additive i can give to my plants to make the taste better or even produce
more resin ?

or is it down to genetics..

It is dependant on the pheno but you can help it express itself more with sulphur

There's a few products you could try these are what worked for me

Aptus k boost maturation booster with sulphur trioxide brings out the terpenes boosts resin

Good old mollases will bring out the terpenes and feed sugars to the bacteria
Canadian express headmaster smells like something that's fermented use hallway through flower untill flush

Haven't tried the platinum from plant magic but heard its got a lot of sulphur in it

Am sure there's more too
