    Default Propane heater??

    Ok so here's a quick question could I add a small propane gas heater to the room I have my grow tent, and if so would it add co2 (carbon dioxide) to benefit my LED grow????

    I wouldnt. Perhaps on the outside of the tent. Im still uncomfortable with having a radiator in the tent. Im not smart enough to tell you the effect on the CO2 boost, but i assume it would be negligible, and certainly not worth the risk of having an open flame in the tent

    CO2 is absolutely a by-product of burning propane. H2O and CO2. They make those propane burner mosquito traps specifically to make CO2 to attract mosquitoes.
    But that's outside. Please be cautious in a closed space. Don't want you passing out! Hope you've a CO2 meter just in case.

    Cheers

    No mate I don't mean inside the tent but in the same room as the tent, would never put a open flame in a tent!

    Yes the room the tent is in is 16foot by 22foot so it's a good size room and I have been looking at the heaters that are designed for inside homes or green house heater's.

    I may be wrong but wouldn't a propane heater raise the RH?

    most indoor propane heater like mr heater puts out small amounts of co2, thats why they are save in a indoor inviroment...make sure u have some ventilation.
