-
By Phil ,17 Mar 2017You want the thermometer right where the plants are. That tells you what temperature the plants are getting.
-
By Chet ,10 Apr 2014Mark, you could make a small aluminum foil tunnel (open for air flow) to hide the thermometer from the direct lights, and it would also be beneficial to have a room thermometer as well as the seedlings area monitoring.
-
By Canna Bus ,11 Apr 2014With the lights shining directly on the thermometer you're getting a thermal reading, what you want is a reading of air temperature so your thermometer needs to be shaded and be at canopy height. Another way is to hang your […]Read More

By icebox ,01 Jan 2015Novice grower here! I have T5 grow lights for seedling starter. Can I use the T5 lights for putting my seeds under once they are planted in soil for getting them to root? Thanks!
-
By Bernie ,02 Mar 2017I used four T5 tubes for the entire grow cycle. My last plant was 22" tall and yielded 3oz of dried bud. I used Fox Farms nutrients. In other words, T5 fixtures can do the job from start to finish.

By latewood_ILGM ,20 Mar 2017Yes. 50f is damaging to mature plants, much less seedlings. You need seedling in a warm humid environment in order for them to thrive. I suggest you find a way to keep temps at 70-86f for seedlings and early veg. […]Read More
