Do Cold temps slow flowering?
if your going to invest in a heater why don't you just invest in a better light? CFL's are good but sense you have a COLD problem just offset that with a HEAT problem which in essense will be NO problem. My situation i set up brings in 30 degree outside air through a 4 inch duct with about 100-200 cfm's (resistance is hard to calculate). The space is about 5x4x5 to make about 100 sqaure feet of growing area. If i had no air from outside my temp is about 110 degrees. With my 4 inch duct and 200 cfm's pushing air in and a ---400--- cfm 6 inch fan pulling air out through a carbon scrubber, I get temperatures around 70-80 degrees. ( resistance makes it more around 200-300 cfm's. CFM = CUBIC FEET PER METER. HOW MUCH AIR FLOW IS BEING SUCKED IN OR PULLED OUT OF AN AREA VIA INLINE FANS. Because you have a cold problem i suggets you make a box made out of something like ..stirephome.. (destroyed that word but you get it) because it is breathable it will allow cold air in and you will probably have to circulate the hot air out with a small fan. This should fix your cold problem by introducing a 400-1000w HPS to omit some heat!

Your hit bro .
What happens when the new sweet H.I.D light gets turned off for 12 hrs of the day ? Betcha it gets cold anyways .
Small heater is a good idea . We use a oil filled radiator style 1 w/ a built in thermostat . Theyre about 35.00 at Home Cheapo or Lowes . It keeps our 720 cubic foot room toasty when the H.I.D.'s are off .
