Hello everyone, I'd like to apologize if the info I'm after is posted already but there's just soo0 much information here that I could not find it. Anyways, It's my first time in growing marijuana and I'd like to find out a good heat source for my closet space. It's ~1 square meter and 1.5 meters high. Thing is that where I live, tends to get very cold, and the room in wich the closet is is a basement. So any advices or tips would be great :) Thanks.

Thanks. :) so by cooling my closet you mean that the light source will produce enough temperature and even above normal? o_O I still haven't turned on the lamps cuz the seeds hadn't popped out of the soil yet but I'll see if the conditions change soon. I will be back :O

Peeps are right.. cooling, not heating, will be the issue when your lights are on.

BUT... when they're off, you may have to keep the temps up with a heater, given how you describe your space. There are lots of space heaters out now with digital temp control, timers, cut-offs if they fall over, etc. Search around for something like that.. or get one with a thermostat and put a timer in the circuit to coincide "heater on" with your dark period.

Whatever you do, don't use some cheap-ass borrowed or second-hand thing .. A lot of the old-generation heaters are major fire hazards.. NEVER should be unattended.
