IMG_1084.jpgIMG_1083.jpgIMG_1097.jpgIMG_1094.jpgsee my problem here is in the first two pictures where my box is outside I had a faulty thermostat i suppose and my temp went so low outside that night with out the heater going my back mounted fan was too much air so i put my heater on and away from plants come back 20 minutes later with a tiny shitty heater btw and my planted wilted over 20 percent of it. anyways i need a good heating and consistant temperature solution. i insulated it as you can see in the second two pictures and ill add a carbon filter at top left and a way smaller fan soon.
 
if your growing outside just the gods given sunlight. If you have to keep it in a box outdoors, and the weather is too cold, wrap the box in a heat blanket, or paint it black. if your indoors just turn the heat/ac on which ever you need
 
why are you putting your box outside? keep it in the house where its warm. and i wouldnt suggest putting a heater inside the box.. thats like throwing a hps in there with no ventilation my opinion anyways..

a dresser outside is obvious and if ppl like neighbors or anything see you go in there they may steal it but i would just stick it inside your closet... thats where i got mine

good point but if its the back garden it'll be fine, mines outdoors (though it's a custom built box). Look for those greenhouse tube heaters, they're cheap and pretty good from what I've read.

like these: http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk...cts/Environmental-Control/Greenhouse-Heaters/

See if you can get one of them thermostat plugs that go on and off at set temps (I don't know if I just made the plugs up or not, mildly baked XD)

i think it would be easier to put it in the house in your room.. people walk in and it looks like a normal regular dresser.. or even put it in your closet.
