SGFC Temps, too low?

Setting up my SGFC and it got down to 66F at night, should I get a heater? Seems a bit low, as I know room temp is optimal. I'm just looking to be cheap, and not have to spend 40$ for a radiator type heater.
Any other way of heating it cheaply? lol

66 at night is fine. It might even slow down growth which usualyy equals dense fruits

A difference in day time and night time temps. help with pin sets. Think of out doors, just like with a 12-12 light schedule to cooler at night.

Yah, I was hoping it wasn't too big of issue. This was the temperature inside the FC as well, with full perlite around 4.5 inches.
I might need to purchase a new hygrometer, I bought one at petsmart for reptiles. It's analogue so I adjusted it but not too sure how well it works.
My RH is like 90% according to it.. Maybe my FC has too many holes? Not spaced properly? Not enough perlite?

Thanks for the info Guys

Chances are it's your hygrometer. Your holes should be a 1/4". If sgfc is built properly, your humidity is correct. Just make sure you don't have to calibrate your hygrometer. You have a fairly big fruiting chamber, another 1"-2" of perlite wouldn't hurt.

Calibrate it anyways. Wrap it in a wet cloth for 90 minutes then adust it to 100%.

I use closer to ~7+ inches of chunky perlite in my SGFCs... But mine are 50% again taller than the one you have pictured

Yah, I bought what they had left of the perlite and ended up with that so I wanted to get some more soon
and I just looked again and it's sitting at higher than 95%
