Looking for some feedback on how to heat my indoor grow tent. My basement stays around 60* so i really only need a 10-15* bump. What is the ideal temp i want to keep my rooms at? (4'x3' bloom and veg rooms)
I am trying to decide between 2 options, because i have an air filtration system that will be running 24/7 so putting a heater in the tent isint going to do much since the air is constantly getting exhausted, i would have to heat the entire basement to 70* to keep the room at temp.
1. Oil radiating heater or quartz heating element plugin type heater. Would have to be on pretty much all the time and have to heat the entire basement to keep the tent at optimal temp (not friendly on electric bill). This is because i vent the air into the basement to retain all the heat i can.
2. Heating mats to cover the entire grow tent floor on a temp controller. Thinking this will be my best option since soil temps will be kept near ideal and the heat will be coming up right under the plants where i need it.
Suggestions? Not to worried about upfront cost, trying to consider the overall operating cost as that is more important to me. I'd rather pay 500$ for a heater that costs 10$ a month to run instead of $50 for a heater that costs 40$ a month to run.
