Christ , if I was that keen to grow abit of weed in those temps I would use underfloor heating on every wall , ceiling and roof plus kingspan . Cost a lot of coin mind
Just working with that I have no need to be condescending... Going to draw warm air passively from inside using my T6 and have my totes off the floor and run a space heater on an inkbird ill be fine without spending too much... I'll have blankets to insulate the reservoirs but if my plants die they die. my totes are HDX so they should be able to handle a night or two of ice in worst case scenario.

100mm kingspan is what I built my flower room out of. It keeps the heat out in the summer and the cold out in the winter. It comes in handy building blocks too. You can just stack it up and glue it to make a room with very little effort. All you'd need is a frame inside for your lights.

Like the title says, temps easily drop to -20 Celcius in the daytime.. My garage is insulated somewhat but not great.

I think once an atmosphere of 20C is reached it won't be too big of a deal unless someone needs to get their car from garage.. I might even keep the heater in the tent to be more safe..

The ONLY thing I'm worried about is power outages. I plan on grabbing propane heater that can work for 6 hours but even that isn't a guaranteed win, power could go out at night and I think my res would freeze.

What do you guys suggest? Should I just forget it? Or do you think the atmospheres will be OK for a few hours on their own?
Can't you just need low wattage aquarium heaters in the bottom of the res?

Thanks, I think this route would be the best bet but I don't own the place... I guess I'll just do garage in the summers only.

Grow tent is currently beside a furnace so I'm tryna move this shit ASAP
Would ya not get different temps off the furnace ? Or are they steady
