Heat for dark hours

[DaveMR]

Hello would an oil filled radiator with thermostatic control suffice to keep my room warmer during dark period. I suffer from a drop in temperature when the lights go out.
Was looking at this one.

Also, do I need to leave both intake and exhaust fans on during dark period, up until now I have let both run 24/7. Room is 8x4 ft x6'6

Any temperature controlled heater will suffice. That one almost looks like over kill, you only need a tiny one for that area. Obviously don't point it directly at the plants.

P.S. I like your carbon scrubber setup. Also you might need a dehumidifier later on, and that is what I use to create heat at night now.

Thanks microwidow, could you elaborate on your dehumidifier please.

Cheers

During lights off the primary concerns are heat and humidity control with a secondary issue being scent control. If there's no air flowing through the room, meaning directing the air through a filter, then odor can escape but this can be almost eliminated with a well sealed room.

Humidity control is easy with a properly sized dehumidifier and it does add some heat. I live in a very cold place in the winter and use a dehumidifier and heater in the winter. In the summer it's an AC/dehumidifier combo. The heater I use is a basic oil filled heater controlled by a thermostat.

Lights off the plants have no requirements for fresh air as they are sleeping. In order of importance it's humidity/temp then if you have odor control covered then all is good.
