does your grow area really need a heater??? I would look for about a $50 increase give or take.

vent your flowering room exhaust to your veg room. It should off set the temps a bit at least.

i run 2x400w hps and 2 rvk100 extracors 3 water pumps 1 oscilating fan and a 600w heater and im using about 4 pounds a day and im in flowering. if i was in veg i could almost add another 2 pounds to that figure.

you can buy a 600w oil filled radiator like mine for around 12 uk pounds in any diy store and they wont use as much heat as a 1500w heater.. they also stay hotter longer as the oil takes a while to cool dwn..

best of luck to you m8.. hope it all works out.
