I personally like it slightly on the cool side, but it has to do with temps, how much they change in time and the humidity level.The tent in my basement is averaging some where’re between 69 and 71 degrees without any heating. I did buy an inkbird, as others here have recommended and I set it up with a small heater to maintain temperatures from 70 to 75 degrees. With this setting, the heat will cycle on and off all day and I’m wondering if this inconsistency in temperature and cycling is worse for the plants then leaving it the consistent basement temperature that’s about 69 to 70 degrees? Thanks
Mid 70’s with 45 to 50% humidity is not a problem, I will just need to run a really small heater.I personally like it slightly on the cool side, but it has to do with temps, how much they change in time and the humidity level.
You have to find a balance where your tent stays in the mid 70's without condensation.
Perfect man. I WISH I had a basement. All you super rich growers out there... hint hint...Mid 70’s with 45 to 50% humidity is not a problem, I will just need to run a really small heater.

Good Man. Are you in a legal state?Haha, I wished I enjoyed the product myself, growing it for the Mrs️
Yes, legal in Virginia to grow 4 plants as of July 1, so you can see I’m intending to hit the ground running.Good Man. Are you in a legal state?
I always try to avoid that... but may work.I wonder if it would be enough to have a fan above the lights to blow the heat down, mixing it with the cooler air in the basement. That should raise temps a bit without altering the humidity already there.
Same here, but I don't grow in a basement or I would have probably already tried. LOLI always try to avoid that... but may work.
I set the heat to come on at 70 and shut off at 75. I believe the inkbird has a 5 degree minimum setting.What's your deadband setting on the ink inkbird? And no the temp fluctuations won't hurt them.
Yeah just gonna be inconsistent I feel. Of he has a controller and Hester I'd go that route. Set the inkbird to a 2-4f deadband and 75-80fSame here, but I don't grow in a basement or I would have probably already tried. LOL
The higher temps and good airflow should handle most of it. Whatcha tink?
Ok change it to like 2-3f below it comes on... will be more consistent but uts not really a big deal imoI set the heat to come on at 70 and shut off at 75. I believe the inkbird has a 5 degree minimum setting.

That’s something I hadn’t thought of! My current heater is 750/1500 watts and it cycles perfectly but I was thinking if I bought a 400 watt heater from Amazon it would run longer since it’s smaller as far as heat output. Not sure how I would determine if the heater would re-start automatically?I love my inkbird dual sensor. You just have to be sure that your heater actually turns on when plugged in without having to hit the button. Lots of heaters and humidifiers these days do not turn back on after a power loss.
Of it digital it need an autorestart function if it's analog your good.That’s something I hadn’t thought of!

Got it! Now if I can find those specs on Amazon on the little heated I’m looking at. ThanksOf it digital it need an autorestart function if it's analog your good.

We have ridiculous rules here also. I find it hilarious that we can have 10 plants per card holder, but only 4oz of dry flower.2 mature 2 not, not 4 plants of any stage
