Hey guys any one know a safe and easy way to raise my tents temp a little . 4x4 tent since running the led light my temps are usually around 22 -24 at best . Any easy ways to add a little heat
 
Put a oscillating fan In your tent mate, it will get hotter, not cooler as you would expect.,

Ive found the funny thing about 'LED exhausted hot air' its got more ozone molecules etc.. in it so it behaves weirdly.

Especially if the Fan is above the LEDs themselves, it will mix the exhaust from the LEDs properly with the intake air thus rising the Temps

Worth a try tho innit?
 
Had a similar issue in my breeding tent where I couldn't get temps up to my preferred 80F/26C in flowering. Added a small DIY panel with 6 slots for CFL's and LED bulbs. Ended up with 3x CFL's and 3x LED bulbs to get the temps where I wanted by swapping out until I hit the temps I wanted. As a bonus, the mixed spectrum and additional heat generated by the bulbs increased my density/yield significantly over previous runs in that tent. The nice thing with this option vs. space heaters is ease/cost and bonus extra lighting on the canopy.
 
If it's short term an oil radiator is a cheap (to buy) relatively safe option. A greenhouse tube or two likewize if that much heat isn't needed. I battle the cold but the biggest part of the year the heat (or extra light) wont be needed. Bring compost worm farm inside, insulate (stays inherently warmer/cooler even without less room ventilation). Water heater/Larger reservoir? Heaps of options! :lol:
 
pardon epic and church... space heaters... what space heaters?...
fan forced heaters?... ceramic heaters?... infrarred heaters?... radiant oil heaters?...other xxx heater?...

saludos

It don't matter what kind of heater they are all designed to create heat and most are very efficient at that. I'm not suggesting anyone put one in a tent or grow especially not an oil/fire based heater, that just sounds dangerous. I would insulate really well first off then reduce exhaust or seal it and add CO2. Spending money on heating is where the inefficiency comes in, I'm sure there are better things to spend money on. If its a tent start by draping blankets over it. During winter I have noticed that Gorilla tent (1600D canvas) holds temperatures much better than the Secret Jardins (600D canvas)

Put a passive cooled DIY cob/cobs in the area. Use a more affordable one like a luminus xnova since you'll be running it hot and the lifetime will be a bit less.
