Hello guys, I canโ€™t get my tent above 68 my lung room is a basement that stays 60. Any ideas how to get the temps up in there without a heating fan? I have one but it keeps popping my breaker. Thanks guys
 
Keeping your intake away from exterior/cement walls will help too. You're welcome!

You can Add a reptile heating lamp, add a sleeping bag on top, An oil filled heater, passive intake and turn exhaust down low

Do you have vents going into your grow room from a central air system? I just recycle my air no lung room for me.

What size light are you running? You can always raise the light and turn the power up to get more heat. Best is a oil filled heater, dose not take humidity out of the air. Iโ€™m in a basement as well and run 2 oil heaters on low for my 10x12 room

This is what I do. With lights off the tent drops to around 70* so as long as I recycle the air exhaust back into the lung room the lights off temps range from 73* - 80*.

Yes. Oil filled heaters have worked well for me for the same reasons.

Is your light turned up to maximum wattage?

AC infinity and controller. If that's not enough-150w hps supplement.
 
To make a tent hotter put up a poster of Pamela Anderson. Preferably circa Baywatch.

But less jokey response - I also grow in a basement & ran tests on temp for my own curiosity. The easiest effective increase for me in winter came from getting my grow off the cold cement floor. Maybe putting your tent floor on another material would help?
 
On top of what AdkBuds said, you could also use milk crates or something similar to raise the pots up .

I have them on a table. It also looks like some of the plants are experiencing some deficiencies. The leafs are yellowing a little bit. Could that be from being too cold?
 
They are in veg so I keep it at 50%
I would try checking the light levels at your canopy(I use photone app) them raise the light as high as possible turn it all the way up and check the light levels. Then lower the hight until you reach you're previous veg light levels. That in combination with sleeping bag should help. A good inline fan with a controller really helps dial in your vpd for your given temperature ๐Ÿ˜‰
 
Hiw many watts is the heater you have?
Iโ€™m going to have to check. But every time I plugged it in it would pop within a minute. When I get home Iโ€™m the am I will take pics and let you know the wattage for the heater
