I made some stops at some local Hydroponics shops (it's not what you think, but I thought the same thing) and picked up two 10"x20" seedling heat mats. Two different brands. This is one of them:
So the section of the basement I have semi-closed off is not staying warm enough. I have a space heater in there, which is only on from when I get home, till I go to bed. This section of the basement I'm using is about 8ft tall x 10ft wide x 6ft deep. These heat mats should help quite a bit. I'll take some picture of the set up. Right now, I have to admit, my set is too big for what I'm doing. But, you never know! I know will I have more down there in a few weeks, like sugar baby watermelons and cucumbers.
I do have to mention, The Maximum Grow Gardening Shop had a pretty cool set up. I spoke to one of the guys working there and he gave me some info about hydroponics classes. I got some free hydroponics handouts, as well as some free magazines and catalogs. I think I'll have to check these free classes out!
They are on 6117 E. Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46219, Phone# 317-359-GROW.
Go Pacers!
