You only have to keep it within 65-80f easy with normal household temps no need for heaters or anything.if you are below 65 just get a personal heater for 30 bucks.

I have two shotgun FC's that i've been using and never had to use a heater. The room temp was ideal. It stayed around 72-78 during the day and then temps fell some at night, which was ideal. If you're really concerned about using some type of heat source, you might want to look into making a heat bomb. Do a search to look up the tek to make one. It's very simple. Basically, it's just an aquarium heater place into a water bottle which is filled with water. This may help, but you also may be fine without it.

this is sound advice...
there is no reason to attempt to incubate or otherwise keep warm your grow if you have stable temps within those ranges. My house stays a (freezing, IMHO) 72(F) because my wife likes it cold inside... jars colonize on pretty much the same time schedule and my bulk substrate trays actually prefer it because of the amount of heat they produce, themselves, internally.
As for fruiting, while genetics play a key role, cooler temps often result in denser tissue in the fruits...iow, fewer hollow stalks.

You could use a space heater set on a timer that regulates your grow area perfectly. 15 minutes on, hour off seems to work for me.
Make sure you buy one that will automatically shut off at certain room temperature and if knocked over will shut off. Safety first.
