Can anyone recommend some form of heater for my grow box. As it is currently located in my garage and while the lights are off the temperature drops. I was thinking about using one of those heat mats that are used in reptile cages but dont know if they actually heat the area up. The heater needs to be small as the box is only 1m long and 1m wide and 2m tall.
cheers:joint:

You could try tube heaters or try having the light off during our natural daylight, so say grow room lights go off at 10am, just about when the day start to warm a little, then they come on again at 4pm if on veg, as the day starts to cool off again. hth

I'm using these from www.screwfix.co.uk - not bad for about £25 I have it plugged into a timer set to run when the lights are off.

51805 - 60W tube heater

81184 - room thermostat

Also I run the lights through the night.
