Winter heat

Nope, not me. So far the heater and inkbird are working perfectly. Two of them would fit really easily if needed, but so far one is all that I need In the 2x4. I have been seriously impressed with inkbird controllers, they work incredibly well, and are a huge bargain.

Ah, my mistake!

100% with you on the inkbird, almost safe to say it’s the one piece of equipment that I’ll never change, hoping it doesn’t break of course!

I also use one to control a fridge in a boat, and it has done the job spectacularly for thee years - a huge improvement over the old tech. If either died, I would replace in a heartbeat.

Hey bro, just stumbling through posts and thought I’d share... I too have the AC infinity cloud line, 6” model, comes with a digital controller and probe, does yours?
The smart mode is great. Set fan to max (6 bar) on on mode, then go to smart mode and set desired temp you don’t want to go over. For every 2c it goes down it drops a fan level. I have other problems right now, quite the opposite, too much heat haha. But maybe that will help you out.
During the cold I used a ceramic fan heater on an ink bird controller, was very nervous about it but worked out great. I was in a 2x4.
@Olderfart , are you by chance Archie? If you are you in fact gave me the advice a few years back on the heater if I remember rightly. Good stuff

I have the smart controller as well. I am also going to need to get a small dehumidifier before I get into flower. It's staying in the 60's and low 70's.

I haven't even been running my exhaust at all at this point. I probably won't until I go into flower.

Thanks man!

Swap to HPS during cold months. Quite a bit more heat generated, and plenty of infrared helps with warmth as well.
I know several growers that run LED spring to fall, and then swap to HPS as the temps drop.

Ya that is a great option but I just dumped a fat chunk of change into my setup to get it going already. I'm trying to do something a little cheaper.

After a major insulation job it is holding temps way better.

I used foam board insulation, with a layer of the pink cottoncady insulation, then wrapped in shrink wrap. It was 27⁰f outside but with 2 autocobs running the tent stayed in the low 60's.
Running lights 24/0 now for heat. I found a chicken coop panel heater I ordered so hopefully I can go back to 18/6 when it comes in. I'll post some pics and let you all know how it works.
