gas heater bright red glow during night ?

i am finaly instaling a gas heater to my grow room, my question is this :

During the 12 hrs of darkness will my gas heater effect the plants with the light it gives off?

It is quite a substantial light source

Or should i build a heat proof housing using some large concrete floor tiles i have left over - u know make a box of stone hang the heater inside and place 2 stone stripes on top to help deflect some more light back into the box while allowing heat to desperse in room?

what u guys think? would be 2hrs extra set up (hassle) worth it or not needed?


cheers

I doubt that it will effect the plants with such a low glow

The statement -- It is quite a substantial light source -- makes me wonder how low a glow it is. Can you see anything in the room by this light source alone? Read the label on your nutes package?

it may cause problems, light may cause hermies, gas heaters can cause fire, anyway if you have a safe way to dissipate heat and not light then do it. personally i would never use such a thing in growroom

needs must i am afraid - need heat and have no extra electric so has to be gas

and yeah i can read the labels on things from the glow - problem i really worry about hermies - am in about 5th week of flowering but going slow due to temps



and thanx alot for replys
