you dont want it air tite you need lots of ventalation or its very likely that they will be unhealthy ir die
you should put a small fan or big fan in the garage how big are the plants im new at growing i had a small plant with 4 leeves very healthy and then my mom killed it cause she got mad at me i just planted 2 seeds 1 week ago they were both unhealthy i think it was because they were very bad seeds out of a terrible sack of weed i got for free any suggestions hopefuly the seed i just recently planted will grow alright im sure it will because its great weed
but im open to any suggestions

Good and bad I think, slow to heat, slow to cool, could slap some foam board over it, some adhesive and concrete nails

I think the $$ spent on insulation won't be a waste, seeing where you live.
Its not too expensive.
