How cold is really cold? whats your setup like? Do as ringsixty said and add some light. You could always consider buying a fridge to grow in, not only are they stealthy for a garage but generally have good insulation too

You can buy a gas heater like this one.

this is what i would suggest. Close the space off some and use the heat from the lights to get the temp up.

They also sell insulation board, at any hardware store. You can even get insulation board that has a reflective finish. They make it to cover duct work (and other things, I'm sure) but it works great for grow rooms.

I have a 10' x 100' roll of Panda Film, 5' x 50' of mylar, and the lights are fluorescent tube lights, meaning they produce very little heat
I'll have a picture of the garage up here by tonight just to give you all an idea of where I plan to grow. I'll also put a thermometer in there and take a pic of the temperature. It's summer in Canada, might not be too cold, but in fall/winter this will be hell, cold hell lol.

Hey guys! So I got the pictures for the grow space. It was really warm today, so heat isn't really an issue on good days, but when it rains or gets cold, this place is freezing! This is a huge double car garage within our next home.
Air will be circulating via the window- will this be a problem during winter? This is a medical grow so no worries about keeping it low, though I'm not gonna have the plants out for everyone to see.
I did a bit of research on garage heaters, most have different voltage sockets and are very noisy. Would it be possible to hang a heating dish used for home use above the plants in an area suitable for a circulating fan? I just fear it will heat up the plants too much in one area and leave other parts cold.
