Help with temps

Hi guys, I'm just about to start my second grown, first ones died, I have a 600 and 400 watt dual spectrum lights 6" fan as outtake 4" as intake pedestal fan and humidifier, temperatures are just too cold when lights are off hitting 7 degrees celcius, I tried a tube heater from my local grow shop and it wasn't powerful enough, so got a cheap fan heater and suspended it from the light rail, but it was hitting 35-40 degrees on minimum setting, I need a cheap fix as I'm already in way over my original budget to get started

All ideas welcome!

Thanks guys P.S it's in my attic, in a standard tent, and I live on a mountain in Wales

Buy a timer for your heater and set it to run 15 min on and 45 off. Your temp humidity meter should tell you your high/low temp so adjust accordingly. Hope this helped :):)

Tried that mate but the 15 minutes it was on was getting too hot, then when it went off temps dropped big time, I need consistent temps, I've had a few people tell me different optimum temps, so can anyone clarify what they should be? (been told 25 at day and about 16 at night) another said 30 and 22 so I'm not sure
