Am considering growing in a shed . Given fluctuations all year around am trying to work with led summer and perhaps hps winter. Wondering if I can work around the options . I have a shed 7x7 x7. Would love to run led all around. Thinking of tent 4x4 x7 high. Can I get away running led all year. Are there options for increasing temps in my shed. I was thinking of just allowing the minimal exhaust to flow around. Though perhaps the led would not be sufficient during cold winters . Wondering how to offset during cold temps. . I am prepared for the best options and no budget. Need to led really, given current expense. .Also are there AC units that members could advise during critical times. Am thinking small portable. TIA.

I would install a 1-ton mini split, no tent, and run the lights at night to offset the temperature drop. A small space heater would work to raise the temps when the lights are off during the day.
INSULATE like crazy and install an AC unit and you're READY TO GO !!!!

That wouldn't work with regards to being covert. It has to be a tent in the shed
Thanks for input however.

It really is the only option. Portables suck. Like really really bad. You would need to run 2 portables. Window shakers are better but that’s just as noticeable as a mini split.
you will need to insulate like crazy. Someone shared this with me the other day and it’s exactly what you’re looking for. https://www.storeitcold.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/DIY-Cooler-2021-7A.pdf
Forgive me. What's a 1 ton mini split. Am UK. That terminology is unknown to me. I will look it up though. Thanks

I've been using EXACTLY what I recommended for 15+ YEARS! Still covert. Install the A/C.
Then bring over your neighbors and show them your new little workshop for your new hobby. Hobby = whatever bs you make up! Give it a few weeks or a month or two and then start growing.
