Pex is really easy to run and not too hard to figure out. Maybe you can piggyback off your heating system is you run hydrostatic.

Something along the lines of this. My room is 6 by 10 so 500$ or so. My neighbor has this in his bathroom.This was my first winter with LED’s, and i learned a lot. I’m in Michigan and will put heated flooring in my basement flower room for next winter.
I think so but then you'd need another exhaust fan. Otherwise you'd have an enclosed space.Could you vent the heat from the lights under the tent between the floor and basement floor?
If you really wanted to go nuts, you could install copper piping under the tent and then pump temperature controlled water through it via immersion circulator as needed.

You'd need CO2 so unless you had supplemental CO2 then you would have to have another intake/exhaust.The only thing that really needs to be exhausted is the heat, right? If there's a cold basement floor there to take care of dissipating heat, then what needs to be exhausted?
With HPS, the light creates more heat but it's harder to control the heat. With an LED, a heater and a thermostat, you have the ability to set temperatures and the tent will stay at that temperature. On a hot day, a tent with HPS will be hotter than usual or on a cold day, the tent will be colder than usual. If you live in a super cold place where you'd need a heater with an HPS everyday then I think that might be a better solution that LED. Emphasis on the might because I haven't grown under any extreme spectrums like that.

stale co2 depleted air?
But what would pull the air in and where would the air go?I was assuming there would be some sort of air intake somewhere in the system for fresh air.
Actually a cool idea would be if the exhaust ducting was split into 2, have a fan on each new duct and connect both of the fans to a thermostat so when the tent is too cold, it runs the fan that goes back into the tent and when it's too hot, it runs the fan going out out of the tent. This would probably be the most expensive option but will be the best for saving electricity. You wouldn't have to buy a heater nor an LED but you'd have to get an extra fan plus all the ducting and one of those special thermostats that have a cooling outlet and a heating one.
In smaller tents, I think it would be fine since they only need the fan running a quarter of the time. Having the exhaust run back into the tent would be the same as having no exhaust at all.you dont want exhausted air back in. The running it under the tent makes sense. I exhaust my flower room heat under the living room as supplemental heat for the house.
