I've never had an issue but mine is barely noticeable as far as the light given off.

In my setup, growing with leds, there is no need for a heater, my intake fan pulls air from upstairs in the house 27-7.ights are on at night .. generally below 80f and when lights are off in the day time temps around 70ish. Lights heat up the basement (hence the house) at night. Been growing this way for years, temps are stable in the house and grow room year round. Good luck.
I do flood and drain but i feel like oil filled ones are too passive/weak to keep up with my exhaust
yeah i feel like i might be able to maneuver something around so the plants are seeing minimal light from the heater but im still weary

Just an FYI, all electric heaters are 100% effecient and if it's a 1000 w then all 1000 w heaters put out a 1000 w be it oil or what ever.

I use a flame heater never had a issue. Best option. Only if you have the room. They sell insulation. Its silver in color heat save . wrap it around the heater if you will like heater in the middle and you wrap this around it spa e about 2 foot space for heat to go. So the heat goes straight up and the light has a 6 foot barriour . so the top of this 6 foot high has light but it will be a lot darker

I doubt it.
Get ceramic heater(s) - no glowing ....Years ago, I used to heat an 8x12 outbuilding with one of those little Pelonis ceramic heaters
Worked great!
thats a good idea. i bought vortex heater fans from home depot but theyre so weak theyll never get the job doneI doubt it.

Ok I was just thinking when temps drop here I adjust my intake fan to lower times first , and my exhaust fan second . It doesn't get as cold here as more northern locals.
My grow is a basement grow ,totally unconditioned and this is how I controll temps . I can not grow in summer with out ac ( not worth it ) .

So your intake and exhaust run at different times?

The OP was talking about the glow from the heating coil in his heater..
As for a little indicator light - tape over it!
IR in the 760 to 1400 nm bands ,,,,,, have no known effect on plants!
Even Ed Rosenthal will tell you that!

Not exactly exhaust runs more and intake less , hmmmm that's a poor explanation .
Exhaust will be running when intake is off so intake is passive when intake is off . But never a positive pressure situation . Only do this to control temps . Shit just pm me if I need to explain cuz I'm fucking this thread up . SORRY OP
