How cold can I go?

No central heating on this winter to avoid getting murdered by the energy supplier has left me behind on a grow. But with the spring seemingly here early I have started germinating by my wood stove.
By the stove I can get near the 77F/25C to germinate. However then the grow room might dip to 59F/15C. Some more heat in a 6'x3x3 tent with a 315W bulb.
Seeds are 3mos auto's and by the middle to last month of grow the temps should be good.

That might be a problem with autos imo unless you’re ok with small plants. How many beans have you started? Any way to move tent closer to heat

Moving tent is not possible. I started 2 of each strain to get 2 plants. Last grow had similar seeds and 4 plants which was too much. My top buds went when the mid and lower was still white. Clearly a lighting lack below.

Im not sure if your trying to avoid elec cost or oil cost but all i can think of is maybe a small propane htr in grow room. Like mentioned its not a terrible temp but will be slow and with an auto…. not sure that’s going to be productive

I get what you are saying. Maybe a small space heater to start in the tent. By the mid grow temps will be good but I guess a cvold first half will limit production, roots. Maybe continue with more that 2 and see how it goes. Thanks

Im not really an auto grower but i do know you cant stop the clock on them so id do everything I could to make them happy. Im not sure if you have a room and a tent but if tent is warmer id just do that if its only two plants
