Appropriate DLI, or Warmer Temps?

[Danielsaaan]

Hey all,
Just began a new grow, and just got seedlings to pop. Before they popped, I had my light at around 75% and tent temperatures were high 70s.
Upon popping, I dropped my DLI to the recommended levels for seedlings — right around 20. The problem is when I did this, my temperatures dropped down to around 69-70.
I’m too sketched out to run space heaters in my grow area. Would you recommend keeping the DLI levels in the appropriate range for the seedlings, or bumping it a bit to keep the tent a warmer temperature?
Appreciate y’all and thank you!

Raise the lights height to max and turn up the lights %

that's what I have done can run the lights higher which will bring the temps up plus I try to keep a fan blowing the hot air from the light back down to the canopy also is you light driver in the tent? mine is not and that will changes temps considerably
