I've only had to tackle high temps so not sure, but most people use oil filled radiators I think. Do you get really low temps then? I've heard it can be difficult in an attic. Cold in winter, hot in summer.

Yeah temps ruffly 16 17c Al the time I've got a 650w one but dont want to buy one that keeps cutting out like mine does and yeah I will have a little read through tonight

 

[VetSmoke85]

Should be able to pick one up fairly cheap with a thermostat on it. Will just click on and off on it's own to maintain the temp then. Is that your temp with the lights on too?

Yeah that's with light on 24 think if I turnt of be way to cold and IL have a look online se what I can find Spode have to be big one as 2.4 m tent by 1.2m

 

[VetSmoke85]

Yeah could be a challenge for you. Not sure if putting some insulation around the tent somehow would be possible. Could get expensive to keep warm through the winter.

 

[SmokeyB]

It's board insulated around the tent just need to do other side that will help just time and money ATM having to buy loads more stuff but will get there think them mars tws 2000s would sort the problem intill lights of bit then just be heater on if can find good one cheers for tagging me in that bro guna read later

Lower temps during lights off can help bring out colours in some strains but it's not good for it Be drop drastically. My lights off temps are sometimes as low as 18C.

Likely because they're in massive pots mate. Lots of the growing should be going on below the soil at the moment too.
