New Grower Temperature not high enough?

[AJrexxx]

More practical idea.

I think your original idea to reduce the hot air from the duct in will work. I have a speed controller on my exhaust. The issue is I have to have my exhaust super high because when the furnace kicks on my tent almost exploded from all the air coming in. I think if I reduce the input I can lower the exhaust. If I can lower the exhaust the warm air will stay in the tent longer when furnace is off. That in theory will stabilize the temps.

I think that makes sense? Doesn't it?

Sounds logical to me.

There are a ton of good ideas in this thread I am sure one will work.

Would that be a warm air heating duct?

If so, that air will be quite dry, watch your humidity.

it is isn't it?

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.

May i ask how much a tube heater added temp wise? And how big a space?

How about getting a cheap roll of bubblewrap and some old fabric, then you could gaffa tape together a coat for your tent, insulating it way better with no extra watts added???
Just a bonkers idea i had

There's a lot of varietals. I run the 150w (ish) ones in 1 x x1 x2 m tents with insulation and constant ventilation, 1 tube heater will increase the average temp inside the tent by 2-3c. I have one on the air intake that supplies both my tents and one in each tent.

There is one positive to lower temps in your grow.

Brings out the colours. All my winter grows have some purple in them.

Yes it actually helped with my humidity. I did have to unhook it though it was to much air. I vented the air flow to slow it down seems to be working now. Only major mess up was my intake feel over and was blowing directly on my airpot for a plant. Dried it out in a few hours, but the plant came back around.
