I was not paying "attention", when I bought my Viparspectra and got the 450w. Now I will get a 2nd to daisy chain for my 4'x4'x80" Viparspectra tent.2x2x4
I've gotta stop talking about my light. I've been over this at least 15 times already. They sent me the wrong one.
Which light do you have and which are you getting?I was not paying "attention", when I bought my Viparspectra and got the 450w. Now I will get a 2nd to daisy chain for my 4'x4'x80" Viparspectra tent.
I was going to link you to a video on a kind teardown I posted page 1 of this thread but it appears that for no good reason, my posts have been quietly and completely deleted. (Lol, I suspect that I'm not particularly well liked by some admin... Something about this place being dumb...this is like cuban vs non cuban in the cigar world........some think cuban is the only way, but looking at it so closed minded, you miss out on alot of quality non cuban offerings.......i have found there is no right or wrong, just opinions.......
i do led(kind LED600 for a 2x4 tent) for heat concerns in the dez.......bought what i think is a higher end version, and will be ok with the decision........i still have an hps from my first grow years ago(this is my second, years later), but learned about the heat issue quickly, so it just sits now.........but this is a hobby, i do it for learning and enjoyment........and i am learning and enjoyingeverything else is just background noise........TASTES GREAT!(some else will have to give the less filling argument)
readers digest condensed version?........good, or overpriced, old technology?I was going to link you to a video on a kind teardown I posted page 1 of this thread but it appears that for no good reason, my posts have been quietly and completely deleted.

I'll vouch for that ...Get one of those heating mats that 1d1 got for his 4x4.
I'll vouch for that ...
I've got three 20" x 48" under the the water catch mat of my 5 x 5 tent. They are run into a thermostat so they will cycle on and off. So far, they have worked well at a fraction of the cost of running an electric heater. My plants seem to be thriving with warmer feet, and my basement grow area didn't go below 60 during the recent cold snap.
I bought them on Ebay from this seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/iPower-MET...var=462852067176&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649can you post a link to the mats? This is likely the solution to my cold basement.

He's currently out of stock for the 20" x 48" size, but he's not the only seller selling them. It's worked well and no matter where you source them from, they will be worth your investment.

I think if it's not a small tent the best option is radiant floor heating... easy af fuck to do and probably more cost effective if doing a larger space.

@MIMedGrower Have you thought about grabbing some of those rubber mats for horse stalls? They maybe a bit pricier than you are looking to pay but should raise them up and add a few degrees.
Sounds pricey but effective.
