Idk about Wales but we meant to be getting hit with snow soon i heard you might wanna rethink hps temporary bud hopefully its bs and it comes to nothing i seen this yesterday hope its wrong lol

660-mile wall of snow sweeping in from Arctic as Met Office gives verdict

We might be into mid-March but winter will prove it still has some bite in the coming weeks with snow forecast to sweep across the UK more than once

Typical.. was up in aviemore few weeks back and not enough snow to get up the mountain

Hps cost too much to run for me these days the two oil heaters are perfect for the space and fingers crossed when the light fixture returns from the shop it'll add some warmth and summer is just around the corner so fingers crossed gets cold in wales through the winter

And wet

Indoors isnt so bad to control outside depends i stay in the warmer wetter slightly flatter bit of Scotland in winter it varies snow rarely lies where im at but anywhere with hills away from the sea will get it more especially up north in our highlands and yeah you guys are lucky i got alot of aussie family i know you guys got it good bbq for Christmas on the beach kinda stuff lol here in winter can be from 5c to minus 16 c just depends if air blown in from siberia hits us bad or not

 

[Frogglet Legs]

No but I'd go with this if I did

MIGRO ARAY 3 | 250W

The MIGRO ARAY 3 is the most efficient LED grow light on the market for 3ft x 3ft or 0.9m x 0.9m grow space. Delivering incredibly uniform PAR distribution with 3 LED bars, a remote mountable LED driver with dimmer control.

26" x 22"

That's a 5" gap either end of your tent which ain't much..
Probably as good a spread as you'll get in a 3x2 without building your own light

Get an oil heater I had tube heaters before and struggled with them bringing temps up probably up there with one of the best purchases I made for my environment

 

[AnnFrank]

That’s the difference in night time temps with the heaters going, it’s been a nightmare, was thinking of changing my leds to hps just for the day time, but with both lights on full boost it’s keeping the temp up, just night time

A 20 degree swing will cause you problems throughout your grow
Mine are running constantly to keep temps up and due to it being colder at night they drop from 82 to 73 Fahrenheit a 20 degree drop is extreme tho you may get moulds and mildews from that

I had success with green house heat cables,
either in a bed of sand on the tent/cupboard floor or under / round individual plants,
that -with running lights at night stopped a dramatic swing in temperature,
a dehumidifier will also heat a space, I've only ever duct-ed the outlet of a dehumidifier into the tent from the room outside but maybe worth a look if you are spending on electric anyway.

Yeh cool ill look into a oil heater as the drop/ difference is doing my head in
