Raising ambient room temperature?
    #11025771 - 09/09/09 05:02 AM (14 years, 6 months ago)

It's currently about 64 degrees, and my grow is progressing... But sooo slowly.

Would a fan heater be enough to help it out? - I can only afford to run it a few hours a day

Or am I better off keeping it at a steady temperature rather than letting it fluctuate?

keep some hot light bulbs around it...... like people have lights on reptiles to warm them

but to answer your question keep it steady..... a radiator style space heater may get you up to temp alot cheaper than the fan heater. those things use alot of power. they just blow air across heated coils, expensive.

another thought may be a seed warmer. they release heat in a blanket-like shape and are small enough to fit under some trays or a tub and use very little electricity. since heat rises that could at least help you in a small confined area instead of trying to raise the temp of a whole room.

I've actually got a heated propagator, but it's thermostatically controlled. I'm just worried if I put the probe in the wrong place the temperature of the base will raise too high and break the propagator, if you get what I mean?
