Depends on what you're working with. You're in a basement? Does it stay warm in winter, that you know of? Leds won't do much, for warning that space, especially un-insulated, but if it's a heated basement, then you could probably get away with panda film.

Depends on your climate and the environment, without insulation heat is difficult to hold onto and could be costly trying to heat it during the night/dark

I will be putting a pellet stove and finish half the basement and I was gonna frame the small grow spot on the garage side as I have a garage door into my basement but I can always put a fan in the wall to force air to the car side

I'd insulate it ,you will have better control to dial in your temps especially if you are having a pellet heater in the basement , easier to do it now while you go.
