It's starting to get cold now, and my original plan was to have my grow tent in my empty basement (not empty as in no one lives down there, but empty as in there's nothing built. no rooms or walls or anything). My basement is NOT connected to my heater that heats my house, so whatever temperature it is outside, it is in my basement as well.
Is it still possible to grow down there IN my grow tent with my tent basically being outside? I cannot place it anywhere inside my house without it being a disturbance, in plain view, or pissing off my mother. I know if I maintain the tent closed, the lights should heat up the tent, but if I have a fan going on as well it would just be outside cold + fan cold = super cold.
Note: My basement is not one with the only entrance being stairs from inside the house. It has both a sliding glass window, and a door with a hole for a dog to go through. All of these things added from the previous owner who decided to ditch the idea of finishing the basement. A small heater is out of question, as it would not be worth it. All the heat would just escape. I can not BUILD anything either like a room (not allowed to).
My tent is 4 x 2 x 5 (in feet), and I have a 400w light system. If need be I COULD buy a 1000w ballast to produce more heat. I am a new grower and really don't know what to do in this situation. This is like learning how to park a car without having a car to drive experience for me.
I would prefer if I could get as many serious responses if I could. I KNOW I have to research more, and sarcastic answers do not help.
