Does it put off a lot of heat?

Not really, as far as I can tell? I keep the house at 70 but the upstairs sits at like 72-74. Tent stays right around 80 pretty consistently but I have it at like 65%

Thanks for the rep @Mossy!

Cool thanks. That might be too much heat for my needs…..the cobs I use don’t put off much….. I keep the house around 77 in the summer, tent stays about 81 as long as I keep the door cracked to that room. Your light would most likely cause me to have to keep the house much cooler to stay in range….which would be expensive..

Wife finally asked why I been buying mint plants when we stop at Publix on the way home from her Dr.......she hasn't noticed I've been planting them in the front planters hoping for some to hang on and grow next year.....will be quite aromatic methinks.

Good luck bro!
Mint grows like a weed and is generally recommended you plant in pots!
Found on the internet somewhere -

Mint Growth Rate
Information is sparse about the exact speed of mint growth, although it is characterized as "fast," reports the University of Vermont. Peppermint grows from a rooted cutting to a plant that fills a 4-inch pot in about four weeks. Within another four weeks, it must be transplanted into the ground or a larger pot. Growing at 4 inches per month, a single plant would spread to 2 feet in about six months. However, as the rhizomes creep away from the original plant, new plants are created, increasing the size of the mint area. Spearmint, which is more vigorous than peppermint, has an even faster growth/spread rate.

Controlling Mint Growth
Another, less direct measure of mint's fast growth rate is its potential for invasiveness. Spearmint has been reported as invasive in many locations, especially in California and Tennessee, but also in many areas in the Northeast and West. Peppermint is reported as invasive in similar areas. Apple mint (Mentha x vilosa or Mentha suaveolens), hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9, is invasive in parts of the Northeast, and pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium), hardy in USDA zones 7 through 9, is invasive in parts of California and Oregon

Mints are extremely useful plants, but because of their fast-growing natures, they can become invasive in garden settings. Control is important. One of the best ways to control mint is to grow the plants in containers. Growing mint in pots limits spread, provides opportunities to grow the mint in any sunny space and allows the plants to be moved around. Containers can also be sunk into the ground during the growing season. Mints can also be controlled by planting them in spaces with impermeable boundaries, such as walls or boards sunk up to 6 inches into the ground.

I run one window a/c at 60°f and one portable a/c unit at 62°f it keeps my tent at 69-75°f
