Ok, great. Is there a must-have tool for this process? Someone mentioned a hot knife, but that seems like a luxury more than a must-have, correct?

I'm really appreciative to you guys for your help! I'm going to build a box in the basement based on the space available. The advantages, I hope/assume, include that the foam will help insulate and hold temps during the cooler 55F nights (I could maybe employ a small heater connected to a...

Thanks Tint!!

Damn that foam work is legit!! :clap: You guys are genius thanks so much for the guidance. After I complete things I'll post some pics for you.

ttystikk good advice, I definitely prioritize keeping my wife happy. I'll check out the foam box idea right now, I'd love to shave some $$ off the build too. Plus I can see how the foam would do a better job than a tent at insulating the box. Great idea thanks so much, for real!!

Aqua thanks for the tip, I see how that could work for sure. I had not known about that tbh. Thanks!!

I just went down to the basement and the temp is 61F, hottest part of the day. Getting dismayed at the challenge of growing down there. Also, the air doesn't move down there, and the air in the house is partly filtered, partly fresh. In the bedroom it's a comfy 71F. So, really, I have to wrap...

Yes, I'm liking this plan. Thanks so much for your specifics regarding temp increases and all your suggestions. I'm going to test the temp during the day and cross my fingers it's warmer, and like you suggested, I could run lights over night... So helpful, thank you!!

We do have central air, that's an interesting idea. TBH, my mind has now shifted to moving the grow inside the house. Might have to concede some size and keep things as stealthy as possible, but the temp in the house is perfect and controlled, wouldn't swing a lot, and has good humidity. My wife...

Thanks Renfro!! I had not considered the temp drops at night! I may have to reconsider my location. I don't know if I want to mess with heating the basement. What temperature would be acceptable during the "night" phase when lights are off? The temp can drop somewhat and still be healthy...

Thanks so much for the advice! I'm planning on a very mild ventilation, due to the cool environment. But I really want to scrub any smell due to my wife's parents frequent visits. So I'm thinking I have to have a carbon filter and a small 4" fan (likely AC Infinity for low sound and...

Thanks! I agree, I'm aiming for a 6 ft tall tent if I go with a CMH. But, if a smaller sq.ft. (5 ft tent) and QB would heat the tent enough, that could work. I basically need to increase the ambient environment temp by 15-20 degrees inside the tent. I'd prefer the QB for efficiency and size, but...

Hi all! I'm setting up for a grow in a relatively cool basement, around 55-65 degrees F, in a 2x4 tent. I had been planning on buying the HLG 260 QB kit, but I'm concerned about maintaining enough heat in a tent. As an alternative, I was considering a 315 CMH set-up, which I assume would...
