You will still be heating the whole room rather than the small special room.
If i did the same i would be heating a room 20x the size of my tent = 20× electric for heater.
I only have an 80w tube heater with built in thermostat, i set it up over a couple of days to get 22/3', plus with thermostat - when lights on heater off or minimal.
Get the tent wrapped nicely especially the top - use cheap loft lagging B&Q usually have it subsidised , lift your pot off of the floor but a thin piece of polystyrene (10mm) and this will stop the ground leaching temp.
My inlet also runs from my shower fan so draws house air rather than cold loft air.
Im not tight just careful, still things to improve though, like how not to snap branches when tying down...
