@AJrexxx have you considered a duct reducer for you exhaust. Looks like you could use a little less air exchange and that should bring temps up a tad.

Just a thought

What do you think reduce for 4 inch? or less it is running in at 6 inch now.

4" should definitely help. The only downside I can think of is, your fan will work harder with the reduction. I think it's a fair trade, for more heat.

Theoretically sounds good.
Maybe someone else can chime in on this idea. I wouldn't want you to go through the hassle for nothing.

It's an idea. May make the fan a bit noisier. You could fit a speed controller and run the fan slower.

it is isn't it?

I am assuming the heater doesn't run constant to keep this template?

It only kicks in when the temp goes lower than 24c I've got it on a seperate thermostat the way I see it I'm getting 6 to 9 ounces a plant by me weed goes for £220 an ounce so I'm still quids in I couldn't tell you about a reducer can you get a fan controller for your extractor fan they slow the speed down but not all extractor fans can use them [emoji106]

I toke therfore I am so naaa

More practical idea.

I've got 10°C in tent 3 days in a row... Today 18°C, hope night will be the same... But plants seems to be okay, nothing has changed...

Canna is fairly hardy and most will grow at those temps although 75-85f seems to be optimal.

A relavely low cost footprint would be a 55w(ish) tube heater (like for in a green house)

They're prettuy cheap and dont eat the electricity

Put it by your pots to keep the roots warmer.

Hope this helps
All the best

edit: whoops - didn't see the part about not wanting a heater!

I'm in the same boat with the temps - thought about adding big ass cfls for side lighting, but went with the easier tube heater option in the end.

Man i think you have shown me the solution to all my problems !!!!! Where have you been all my life . are these ok to run 24/7 and by how much would they raise the temps approx ?

yeah - i run mine 24 hours.

How much it raises depends on your air exchange and how cold it is outside the tent.
I put mine close to the pots to keep the roots warmer - I think it helps a little (or at least eases my mind that i'm doing what i can).

I've stopped running a temp meter lol - it can get too upsetting when temps are variable
