Need supplemental heat

It's been in use now for 4 days. the first 2 days it was in use I was only using it for flower cycle night time period but now I'm using it 24/24 as it helps up the temps for the flower cycle day time period as well.

The bulb gets hot so have a fan blowing on it to keep the hood cool. An aluminum hood dissipates heat quickly and super fast with a fan directed at it. I can get aluminum hoods with clamps from a local hardware store for $10 but they can probably be gotten cheaper elsewhere.
 
I bought a space heater from walmart for about $25 and it works fine. It has an automatic shutoff in case of fire, but I never turn it up too much anyway. I keep it on low with the thermostat all the way down and it does the trick.

Glad that's working out for you bro! I'm sure you have it positioned in a safe manner, correct? Always safety first !!! :mrgreen:
