I have a small electric heater in my grow tent to use when needed. I just installed a new Ac Infinity T6 ventilator and carbon filter.
I have it running constant right now. I notice that my the reading goes from 76 to 81 degrees about every 20 minutes or so.
I think my electric heater keeps turning on and off during this time. Anyone have any comments on this ? Just do not want the heater
kicking on and off this frequent. Any ideas ??

Put the heater outside the tent.

Your tent is constantly venting the heat from the heater to the outside. What the other guy means is, your tent will quickly equalize temperatures with the room it's in-your heater will constantly go on and off if you have it inside the tent. You may need to keep your family room warmer.

Lowering the heater temp, and/or fan speed could reduce the cycling.

Toys like this help me know whats going on, such as how long it takes for my heater to bring the space to temp.

If you have a T6, use temperature mode to regulate temperature. Your light should be plenty to warm the tent- if its not, you need a bigger light.
