Starting a winter garage grow and I need feedback on my heating setup. I'm growing a Northern Lights Autoflower on a 24/0 light schedule and over the next 10 weeks my temps in the garage will be around 50 f highs in the day and 25-30 f lows at night. My setup is a 2ft x 4ft x 5ft tent with a 4" in line intake fan at the bottom of my tent with a carbon filter + 203cfm exhaust fan vented through the top of the tent. My grow light is a 300w mars hydro LED so not much heat help there. I DO NOT want to leave a space heater plugged up 24/7 so please do not recommend that.
So far, the best solution i've been able to come up with is two 250w red heat lamps ( the kind used for keeping baby chickens warm) connected to an inkbird thermostat. 1 lamp on each end of my tent with the grow light in the middle. They bring the tent up to 80 degrees and cut off. When the tent falls to 75, they cut back on. Also, I have put a humidifier in the tent. Through several days of monitoring, this method has not let the tent fall below 70 degrees + 45% humidity at any time.
My main concern is will the heat lamps have any negative effect on my plant?
