        Radiant and some fans to blow it around. I use a small space heater only because I’m raising the temperature just a couple degrees for the overall basement and a thermoforge for my tent.

        • My wife got me a thermoforge for Xmas I will never go back to space heaters this thing works perfectly and seems to be way more energy efficient than a standard space heater I absolutely love mine, I have to block off all the heat vents to my grow room or it gets way to hot the room stays around 62-65 normally

          • @potgoblin420 I’ve been looking at that same water meter. What do you think about it? I’m on top of everything but if I have to travel, I have to look via camera and make a “treatment decision” remotely.

        • I’ve used an oil filled radiator with a couple paver bricks sitting on top and a few milk jugs of saltwater around it on the floor. A small fan blowing through the fins, upwards, and something up high blowing everything back down. I’m in Minnesota in a “finished” garage. Watch your amps and use as few extension cords and strips as possible for the heater. Grab a stapler and a $15 roll of visqueen and make a barrier above if it’s not a finished ceiling, too. Just don’t piss off the missus! 🤘🏼🤣🤘🏼

          • Oil-filled heaters that don’t produce light is important.

            • I also have a Thermo Forge from AC. Keeps my temps at a solid 68-71 during flowering with lights or off.

              Dropped to teens here in Ohio recently and it didn’t skip a beat.
