Week 2 of veg. 480W quantum boards, dimmed to 40%. Average temp is about 69 during the day and 65 at night. Should I boost the daytime
heat with a small space heater?

Is my tent too cold?

It's a little cool, but your daytime-only heating plan may promote more stem elongation.

That's waaaaaaaaay too cold for daytime temps under LED, unlike hps, led doesn't emit IR so you need higher ambient temps to get the leaf surface temps up to optimal. I shot for room temps of mid to high 70s with Hps, with LED I shoot for ambient temps in the low 80s. Get those day temps up asap.

This. 80 is a good target for LED.

What should my night temps be?

I think it depends on how much you want to encourage or discourage stem elongation.
