Propane or Electric Heater???

Luvthatloud · Nov 15, 2016

My night temps are getting low 60 degrees and I want to buy a heater to heat the grow space.. Can I use a propane heater or will it produce humidity? Or should I just stay with the electric heaters? Where the cost is way more bill and unit.

buy a good heating mat and put your plants on top.

A byproduct of the combustión of propane is water vapor, so it will add to your humidity. Assuming you're sealed, unless you have a dehumidifier or AC running at night then you're just adding to your space's RH.

Propane will increase humidity but will also add co2 to the room , Electric heaters will reduce humidity

Get a dehumidifier and run it at night. They can throw out plenty of heat for you, instead of wasting energy on heating.

That would be fine if you were in flowering but what about veg. You would want to be running dehumidifier though veg

Use the propane it creates Co gas as an extra.
