Help with alternative ways to heat a grow tent.

Hello everyone, first time poster, long time lurker. So I currently run a 5'x5'x80" tent run off of a raspberry pi system. I currently heat my grow tent with an external space heater that just blows to heat the wall of the tent on one corner. This has worked very well for me until now I am growing weed in the same room. With the space heater running this keeps my cannabis tent at 80-81 degrees F steady and I need it to be at least 75. So because of this I need to find a different method of heating my grow tent safely.
The grow tent runs on Mycodo with a Raspberry pi system configured for that. I love this setup because it controls/reads Humidity, temperature, and CO2 levels. Its a literal set and forget it type of deal. Since the tent has humidity that fills the chamber, what would be a safe method to heat the tent internally?
What I have thought about doing was obtaining a heat resistant box/bucket and cutting it to the shape of the heater vent and attaching it, after that inside the box would be a HEPA filter, after the box it would be attached with tubing and an inline fan to aid the heated air intake. Reason being I don't believe the heater has enough blowing force to go though the HEPA filter and heat the tent efficiently. Another idea I was told on reddit was heat lamps! I found ceramic reptile heating bulbs that are waterproof/water resistant, but I feel like I would need at least 6-8 of those at once to sufficiently heat the tent. I also found enclosed ceramic coil heaters, but they need a specific hookup for 220v and I am running 115v. I would prefer something like a LED grow light type of product but it emits heat and can hang in the tent.
Thanks for all you're guys and gals input in advance

Do your mushrooms really need heating?

I mean yes. My climate fluctuates. as I've said above my tent is a 100% automatic environmental controller on a PI system. All aspects of Temperature, Humidity and CO2 levels are controlled. Reason I need heating is because of the fluctuating climate I live in AND so I can control and test different temperatures for different species, better yields, size of mushrooms. all that I would like to be controlled. I am trying to breed perfection to an extent with this project.

Heat the room, not the tent. Any 110v space heater will do.
