Tempature Issue

[Stoney Macgyver]

Alright so I just bought a 4x4x6'5 grow tent. I keep it in my garage since im confined to space in my house. I have a 400w MH/HPS for the lighting. But the thing is that its winter and my garage is pretty cold, ecspecially right now with a week worth of snow coming my way. The tempature is around 67-70 most of the time but I dont know how cold it gets at night. I know my garage stays around 30-40 usually everynight. So should I just run the lights durring the night? Or is there any other way to keep the my babies warm durring the night? Besides partabable heaters. Not willing to run another 1400w's on top of what I already got just to use a little ass heater.

Could get one of those portal oil heaters, use a lot less electric. Look into them,
if not yu cud switch the cycle round a bit, move it around 30-60 minutes a day, so if your like 12 midnight off, 12 midday on at the moment, start moving it to like 12:30 off, 12:30 midday on, etc etc.

Thanks guys for the info! I'll probably run my lights at night and and if it gets to cold i'll use a heater but instead of oil heater, mabye i can find a small propane one because wouldnt that also release co2 into the air?

Actually, any heater that runs on "Hydrocarbon" fuel (gasolene, oil, kerosene, propane or natural gas), will produce about 3 lbs. of co2 for every pound of fuel you burn. But you're on the right track!
