Need more heat +rep

does anyone know of something i can put in my room for better insulation other then the fiberglass kind. maybe some insulated mylar

the heater i have i keep running on max 24hrs a day and just barley stays above 70 sometimes gets as low as 65 but it could heat a small room i just need a way to keep the heat in
my room is just plywood which doesnt insulate very well

its a 1500watt heater its gonna kill my electric bill if i don't do somthing about it
(+rep to best answer)

get more lights.
1. thats your heat
2. more light=-better buds

those temps are perfect as i am concerned, 65 is awesome for night time temps.

Good call more light equals more heat equals more/better bud. Or just get insulation and put around the outside if its a grow box. Doesn't need to be on the inside and reflective.

where do you live? what is on the walls now? can you get access to put something there? picture or two might help

Buy some emergency blankets, they are mylar on the outside.

my room is a cubby between the wall and the roof for storage

im using 4' fluros so they emit little to no heat

blankets sound like a really good idea.

ive only got a little veg room, its the shape of a triangle and 4 foot at the widest part, + 7 foot high, and while i veg with cfl (125 watter) have found when i take clones and put them in there to root in a heated propagator the temps rise a good 4-5 degrees! and its only around the 35-40 watt mark, so give that a try you might be supprised how much a smallish space heats up with very little heat.

never mind ive just reread your post and if a 1500 watt heater wont do the trick 24 hr aday then it wont work lol.

yea i just need a way to keep the heat in it prolly goes right thru the roof

im gonna try the emergency blanket idea i will let you guys know how it went

cardboard is good heat insulator any tramp will tell ya that, lol eh u could honestly get some thick cardboard boxes open them all up and tape it all round the grow area and man i reckon it will work very well, the homeless ere in london use them to get through are harsh winters so man i would give it a go, bring them energy bills down some. good look man ! peace !

so i decided to try both ideas i lined the walls with cardboard hobo style and put up the emergency blankets i had white printer paper up so i figured a little mylar wouldnt hurt

IT WORKED it got down to the 30s outside lastnight my room was a comfortable 75-80 all night i clicked it down to the 600watt and set the nob to the hardly even on setting, it clicks on to maintain the set heat and i don't hear it clicking on alot compaired to before when it was on 24 hours a day 1500watt max setting

thanks guys for all the help and input you took a big chunk outta my e bill

you could also use old newspapers as insulation (emergency blanket, newspapers, cardboard, for a triple deal.)

good idea unfortunately i alrdy have the whole room covered in mylar emergency blankets maybe i should of asked the hobo down the street he keeps warm

but good advice everyone thanks alot

lol, yeah, thats from the "hobo survival" book of tactics

Put a couple 1000w HPS in there and it will warm up. Heater at lights out.

ya more lighting. I never have turned on the heat on my house because of my rooms temps =)
