I've not been online for a couple of days, and it seems I missed a lot of interesting posts ! Hurray!

I have put my seedlings in a growtent in my (unheated) garage.
(Not that it anywhere near freezing outside... It is still around 45F during the day! Blinking )

@admmad : how long should I keep my lighting on to prevent grow rest? (that ís something I want to prevent, right??)

I have 4 armatures with 2 lamps each and at the moment I only use blue light.
@sooby: should I replace some of the blue lamps with red lamps for the best result?

I made some photo's while setting up the tent Hilarious!

I will take some more photo's tomorrow Thumbs up

Outside the tent (in the garage) temps vary between 40F and 45F at the moment.
Inside however temps go up to 70F when the lamps are on and 58F when the lamps are of.
That is ok, right? Shrug!

Humidity inside the tent is VERY high: condensationwater is really running down the walls... Confused
Could that be a problem? My seedlings have been in there now for 2 weeks and they seem to be doing ok Whistling



Thank You!
