If. You’ve got room for both veg and bloom tents stager the timing so it covers the 24 hour cycle, that way you’ll be generating heat (from the light cycles) to help keep a steady temp in the growing area...I did that last off season’s grow and didn’t have to add aux heat. Agree on the heating mats, thermostatically controlled.

I’ve got one 100 watt’r doing duty to power my sulfur burner, no light just heat, more commonly used for heating reptile habitats. It will burn sulfur...
