Hello all. I have a little dilemma... Actually I don't, but I already know soon I will, so I might as well start coming up with some solutions before it hits..
Here's the scenario...
My grow space is a 8x4 GrowLab, with a 1000w and a 400w. It's placed inside a garage. In my location, winters can get pretty cold, and the garage will probably get pretty cold too.
I'm trying to keep it in the garage and not have to move it indoors for certain family reasons. Although my room gets hot with the lights running, especially if I don't ventilate them, I'm not sure if they will really battle the cold. And in flowering, when the lights go out, I'm sure the temperature will drastically drop.
I'm looking for a solution. One product I found that seems to warm small places REALLY fast, and consistently are those synthetic fireplaces (not the real name, but I'm assuming some of you will know what I'm talkin about.) that they sell at Wal-Mart and Costco and places like that. I'm sure I can find some space heaters that maybe can battle it; but before I spend a bunch of money, I want to know what will work for sure????
I don't want something that just gets blatently hot, because before caring about heat, I worry more about safety.
So that will be the paramater:
1) Can battle weather that maybe on the coldest day may hit 0 degrees...
2) Won't catch on fire and burn my place down while I'm out
Anybody had a similar situation and found a solution? Anyone with a product or a technique in mind???
I was going to build an insolated box around my tent.... but that kinda defeats the whole purpose of me having bought the tent in the first place lol.
