I would run a separate timer for the heater. I use these. This will allow and maintain heat.I donāt sweat 80 degrees. I do once it hits 85+.
They work perfectly. I have my window AC on it so it will kick on and off for the desired time.
So you can run the heater not all night and manage the heat even better.

You should see the heat I have to deal with during the summer and no Central AC. My tent can rise past 100 degrees with ease.
So my lights kick on say 5pm. This means I have my Window AC on like 15 to 30 mins before lights on.
As I need to run the AC for the entire lights on. I set the AC to turn off like 30 mins after lights out.
Now during the morning and late afternoon I will have the Window AC kick on and off just to keep the grow room a little cooler.
It works like a champ for me. It doesnāt mean it will work for you. Trial and error till you find what works for you.

If you saw what I tried to cool the temperature, you would laugh so dang hard. I tried different Redneck ways. Once I realized you control the temp in the room, it will control it inside the tent. Problem solved.
We canāt have basements here due to the shallow water table.

My heater is on an inkbird thermostat. Turns on when temps drop below 70f, turns off at 80f.
My extra exhaust fan is on a humidity controller. Turns on to vent above 80%, turns off at 70%. (Very important at lights out). Humidifier is also on a controller.
Everything is set to turn on and off at the parameters I set, even extra circulation fans in the room.
Controlling your environment is essential.

Hel ya doing this today humidity and heat. Will hook the tank heaters to an temp controler. Donāt know if it will work but like new ideaās. Maybe even just through in a 5 gallon fish tank.

That was me: an aquarium heater to me is safer than any home heater in a wet grow space. If you donāt need the extra humidity just run it with the lid on. I also blow a fan over the outside of the bucket to help transfer heat into the grow space more readily.

Iāve been pretty busy in real life, but still growing.
Iām using a panel heater like this. Low consumption, no worries about knocking it over/fire hazards.

This sounds like a good option, I was looking online at aquarium heaters, but am not sure what size to get. My grow space is about 2x2x6. Do you have any recommendations about the wattage I should get? Thanks!
Iād go with a 300 watt.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I am looking forward to trying this out!
