Radiator

Hi I'm looking for recommendations for a heater. I'm using a fan heater at the minute but the direction of flow is messing with my plants. Question is what's people using room size is 2x2x2 metre shed cheers

Tubular Heaters, put one on each wall near the floor, this will keep the roots warm all year round.
6ft (270w), could use 3x 6ft and 2 small ones near the door.

Used them before pal and I'd never recommend them to anyone that's growing in a shed.

So weird that they don't seem to sell those tubular heaters with plugs that work in the US. You'd think they'd be pretty universal.

Another instance where the best grow gear lives across the pond. We need to catch up to home grow tech here in the states imo.

I don't rate tube heaters they get hot but don't radiate heat

I think there great, I have 2x 40w and an 80w tubular in my shed with the main led on(364w), RVK 5" fan was on 75% but turned it up to 100% to bring the temps down to 25c, not sure how good there going to be when the day temps drop below 6c in 7 months time, may have to buy another 80w tube.

I think it depends on what you want, if you're looking for a significant increase in temperature and you have room for something like an oil rad, then you're better of with one of those..but for growers with limited space, don't have the room and need to increase the temperature by roughly 2-5c (give or take) then tube heaters are perfect!

You most likely have space for an oil rad in that shed? (which is what I would choose)

I use a 2k oil rad with an inkbird and having just only recently got the inkbird I don’t know how I’ve managed without it all this time.

For the first time as an experiment and to keep heating/fan costs down I’ve not run extraction when the lights are off and it’s worked out just fine.So look into trying that,or have the fan on a timer so it comes on briefly every now and then.

Before I tried this any heat created was just getting sucked straight out,as a loft might as well be a shed in the winter.

It’s getting warmer now so you won’t have to worry about heating soon.

When you turn extraction off do you leave intake on or off
