what do you think and what do you do at times of low temps???
In the winter, air temps dip into the low 60s where I grow. I grow in a 'hydrohut' in my basement. I bought a cheap electric heater fan that also oscillates. I put it in a corner of my hydrohut, near the floor. It has a built in 'thermostat' that doesn't have numbers. Get a digital thermometer with high and low memory and tweak the settings over a few days.

I've also used a food thermometer to measure the soil temps, but don't tell my wife
