Lighting Heating grow tent with led

[Think]

I'm finally going to be switching to led, just wanted to know what would be the best way to heat my tent (if it does need heating) as leds don't push out heat like hps?

Reducing extraction speed with fan controller will help....you can also use heat mats or heat tubes if needed.

if it fits, a small elec. oil filled radiator.
you can turn them down real low and don't use much elec. at all unless its freezing out.

I have an old 2 drawer wooden file cabinet (tossed drawers) that I push up next to an opening in the tent and inside is a radiator heater. The inline fan sucks in the heat very nicely. Though I didn't need it last winter. Works well.

I can give you 7-8°C from my HPS...
It's 33°C at the moment in my tent.

I think this is the the plan! I'm gonna get some insulation on the bottom and put the tent on top too see if that helps

That's a great idea! Didn't think of anything like that!

yep, if you have room an electric oil filled radiator is the best because it doesn't blow on anything. Just make sure it isn't touching anything. Mine has a thermostat. About $100.
