lights out

[neo12345]

hi i have a 4x4 tent with 4 autopots and 600w lamp. i was hoping for advice on the best way to heat tent in lights out periods . im in the uk

You shouldn't need a heater if the tent is indoors, run the lights at night and have them off during the day and you'll be fine. If you keep the door to that room shut the lamp alone will keep the room nice and warm anyway, and should keep the heat in when the lamps not on.

It's nearly shorts and tee shirt weather anyway, it's lovely and sunny here again. Good luck with your grow!!

I'm going to agree with Widow Maker here. 55w is probably not going to cut it. Unless you are going to turn your vent fan off which isn't the best idea.

I have a small 2'x4'x5' tent and run a 200w space heater in it which is considered very small for a space heater. It keeps my tent between 62-64F with lights off. Room temps at night are 52-54F so it's about a 10F difference.

Move a bit further south then, it's lovely and warm down here! lol

You'll have to learn to grow in DWC though as everything is under water here!!!

Hey bro, I'm across the pond in Ireland so have to deal with cold lights off temps also. I've found the best solution is a small fan heater with a thermostat so the heater knocks itself off at a certain temp

I use this one from Argos and it works perfect, on the lowest setting it shuts off about 21c

nice one looks good i like the look of the tube heaters though

 

[auto88]

3ft tube heater will fit in yours perfect. £22. Put it on a timer on the light out period.

At 55 watts it's about 160 btu's lol. A candle perhaps lol.

I found this link interesting,amazing what you can do with a candle.http://greenbuildingelements.com/2008/01/16/turn-a-candle-into-a-radiator/ but shows it can be done with one candle power.
