New room / tent problem solving

new tent


hey guys new tent is all set up now ran it empty for about an hour or 2 the lung room a shed / extension off side of house and does not get much if any of the heating from home so will flucuate with outside conditions without hitting the same lows / highs I plan to run lights during night / early morning to combat the lows of outside weather
my test time was from 10am with outside weather around 10 degrees
temp high - 19.2 low - 18.4 degrees <---- this is
humidity high -59.3 low - 53.3 <-- plants should help raise this and can open larger vent or add cup of water
i know the high temp is still not in range but on summer days it should get there comfortably ??
im not looking to make the conditions 100% perfect at this stage just good enough to do the job

using ac infinity pro controller so fans and ventilation are automated
could i add another smaller lamp to heat up the space ? open to ideas / suggestions or if it will be fine being out of optimal at times would love to hear it thanks in advance team.

You could add something like these to the tent you can run a couple of the heaters off the one thermostat controller and it can also provide heat on lights off where an extra lamp wont Screenshot_20240928-153331_eBay.jpg

Or you could go cheap and use 2 clamp on uva/b basking ( heat lamps ) and a sinple controller for heat boost. I use this system to reduce transition tines from night to day and when I open the tent during the day. If you need specific products I can list them for you. With controller and 2 extra bulbs I think I got $70 us into it.

OP: please consider also that temp and rh have a relationship with eachother.
Transpiring plants cause rh to rise and temps to lower. Also, raising temps in summer will lower your rh somewhat as hot air can takes more absolute humidity to saturate.
Yes you will need some heating in there. Especially for when the light is out.
 
I had some store credit from tent purchase and got a grow heater funnily enough the exact model that was linked by the kind sir in this thread I'll re test after getting this plugged in and buy another if it needs a further boost but think it's going to do the trick thanks for your replys team
