Qb's too cold for basement?

[TheSpaceFarm]

Just moved into a new house and setting up fresh. I was thinking about grabbing a couple hlg 260 qb kits to flower under but I'm wondering if its too cold in my basement. It's been about 62 in there for the past few days. so I'm thinking i might need the hps for heat. But I'm not sure if it stays that cold down there in the summer. Trying to decide if i should just get the qb's and a heater, that way if i need to i can just take out the heater in the summer. What do you guys think?

Heater...and maybe an ac for the summer depending...or hps and an ac for the summer but I like QBs over HID

 

[TheSpaceFarm]

I've really been wanting qb's for a long time. If i went with them i wouldn't need ac in the summer even tho i still have the ac I've been using. But i would def need a heater. It would probably be worth it to go with the qbs

I really think so I'm looking to go to either cobs or strips not sure stuck on the fence. I like QBs don't get me wrong. I just don't know which to choose its alot of thought and research and planning. I'm just tryna keep it simple lol I'll stick with shit blurples. Eventually save up for something crazy I'll build myself for my room for Heisenbeans. Get the heater enjoy the QBs and post so I can follow the grow

When you close off your grow space your lights will increase your ambient temperature by 5-10 degrees with LED'S. 10-20 for HPS depending on wattage and cubic feet of grow space.

I have the 260 watt dual v1 288s in my basement and it's cold like 65 degrees and have been running them 24/7.

Just picked up a couple atreum 144.2 to supplement more light and heat and will have to add a heater when I switch to flower but the s life in the frozen northland.

How about running 2 flower areas at opposite times and 24hr veg area? Heat would be more consistent.

Be a baller and run a sealed room with a small mini split.......................problem solved

Try some insulation. If it's that cold it doesn't matter what light you hang, the temp swing between lights on and off will be so big that you are just asking for problems.
