If my temps remained 64-70 I personally wouldn't worry about a heater or the added expense. I'd run it at those temps. I run a heater, but only because my temps would dip into the 40's and 50's. I have mine set to keep it 67-72 degrees.

On the high end I try to keep mine below 85 or so. Bugs like it warm and it’s just an added something to help keep that problem under control...

I shoot for about 80 for my setup. My "lights off" temps are usually around 65-70 and it rises up to about 80-84 max with all the lights on. 70 is ok for growing, but plants grow a little faster with warmer soils and temps, up to a certain point. I've always had great results at 80, which keeps fungus and stuff away (make sure to have good ventilation). Just my 2 cents!

I was just asking cuz I know people like to run LEDs a little warmer than hps. Usually lower 80s for LEDs and mid 70s for hps. But that's just the "ideal" range. Im sure you'll be fine. I've been struggling to keep my veg tent warm and my plants are doing ok.

i had the honeywell 360 heating heater. worked well for a while but eventually burned up due to how my stuff is ventilated.

maybe look into the small lasko ones. its what i have now and it keeps me from 81-68 all day. the heater* is the size of a cd case, and as fat as 3" with a button on the bottom to know if it tilts or not
