Use a 600W HPS in the tent. Have an extraction fan ($40) for the tent only -not hooked up to the light ducting, plugged into a thermostatically controlled outlet ($30). Then the exhaust fan will only come on when the heat in the tent hits the highest temp you set it for (e.g. 78*F) and blow the excess heat into the cold garage. Use a small 900W ceramic heater ($15) on a timer to only come on when the lights are off and you need heat. Set the thermostat on the space heater to the desired night time temp and it will only kick on when needed. All together you can get heat and more light into your tent for very cheap and it will cover all your bases without ever exceeding your amperage limits on your breaker. I believe thats about the most effective and inexpensive way to deal with your issue.
