With the lights off my plants are getting pretty cool. 58 for the flowering plants and 63 for the vegging plants. I figured I would need a heater eventually. My lights are off during the day to take advantage of daytime heating. Do I need to worry about the temps yet? Lights on temps are around 75

Ahhh yes winter cold on the way, anything lower then 55 the plant shuts down production.

I have a small heater in my veg area and when it gets a bit colder another one for my flower area. I have it low in my room, but not on the floor just in case of water. I have it on low right now, and it is one that turns off when it reaches what temp you want it, but you have to figure that out. It works well, and I got it from wally world, not expensive.

Peace

I find you can get use heaters at 2nd hand stores in the summer and fans in the winter

Yes, you can get them used, but this is one thing I would try and get a new one of, as they have become more efficiant as far as electric consumption, and less dangerous. Also, a used one could have a lose wire or whatever. They are not too dear so try and get a new one for your own safety.

Peace
