See

thats all i need to know its pretty cold in my attic tho i dont think theyd survive without the light lol . Can i leave it on ? Thats what ive always done in the past and it works for me idk why not now ..
If you need the heat then use the lights or a small space heater...seedlings dig a lil more heat then average.

If it's that cold you are going to have problems with root development no matter how warm your plants are. Roots like a slightly warm environment for optimum growth. Get a heating pad or a make a ghetto tent like mine to keep them warm when the lights are off.
Thats in the attic my bad i didnt take the temp inside the tent lol duhhh high moment . Anyways inside my tent that is lined with mylar (got it online) and is damn near air tight its 78 degrees in there with a little fan that is on power level 1 of 3 so its barely sucking hot air out from the top of the tent ik thats slightly above the perfect temp 76 is that ok ?

Of course 78F is fine.

You said with the lights off it's cold enough they would die, lol.

Since they are on 24hrs of light itll never get colder than 75 INSIDE the tent . But with the lights off i assume the attic and inside of the tent would be around 65-70 .

Pretty much the answer to any questions i have left lol . Besides proximity to my plants ?
150w HPS right? Air-cooled? I don't remember if you said so or not.

If it's air-cooled, you can probably get it down to 4-6"... If it's not, 8-10" maybe? Depends on your room and how cool your canopy stays, really...
