65 is too low for either HPS or LED. HPS you want to shoot for 78 degrees with light on. With LED you can run up to about 84 degrees, but 81 to 82 will work.I have a 2x4x6 grow tent in a large basement and the basements temperature is fairly constant at 65 degrees +/-.
I was hoping to find a small space heated with a 4 inch duct that I could run directly into the tent to boost the heat and I don’t believe anything like that exists.
I’m guessing I will just have to place a space heater outside facing one end of the tent and then thinking I will need a small humidifier inside the tent since the heater will substantially lower the humidity.
This must be a common problem when growing in a tent that’s within another space?
Also wondering if there’s a good temperate/humidity gauge I could leave in the tent and check it via Bluetooth that would save me from going up and down a full flight of stairs all day? Thanks
I thought the desired growing temperature was 65 at night and around 70 during the day?65 is too low for either HPS or LED. HPS you want to shoot for 78 degrees with light on. With LED you can run up to about 84 degrees, but 81 to 82 will work.
Way too low. Those are legit numbers 100 percent!I thought the desired growing temperature was 65 at night and around 70 during the day?
Yes that is why I said 78 degrees lights on with HPS and up to 84 with LED's.The lights are going to heat it up.
Starting on the cool side is a bonus. It's easier to heat than cool.
Why higher with LED’s? Now I’m guessing I will need a space heater outside the tent and maybe a humidifier inside.Yes that is why I said 78 degrees lights on with HPS and up to 84 with LED's.
I’m at 73 degrees with a heat mat and the 1500 watt LEDThe lights are going to heat it up.

HPS gives off more UV and it heats the leaf surface. LED's typically do not give off much UV so you have to raise the room temperature to get the leaf temperature into the correct range.Why higher with LED’s? Now I’m guessing I will need a space heater outside the tent and maybe a humidifier inside.
I am not aware of any true 1500 watt LED's. What brand it is?I’m at 73 degrees with a heat mat and the 1500 watt LED
@1diesel1 does this sound correct to you ?Plants grow best between 68 and 77 deg F from what I've learned. That is the temp where they are most active. Some plants like a higher temp (Cactus for example) and some won't bloom unless it's snowing. Cannabis falls right in the low to mid 70's range. How you get it there is up to you. Our lights are enough to push the temp 15 deg F on an average day. So for me, 65 is perfect.

I’m averaging 73 with a heating mat but guessing the mat adds very little!@1diesel1 does this sound correct to you ?
So many angles at this question,@1diesel1 does this sound correct to you ?
