Temp fluctuates

With the Heater I have(analog setting) fluctuates (needs to drop 6 degrees) before kicking on. So my Lights off temp fluctuates from 67F lowest(about 5min) to peak 74F(<5min) maintaining an average of 70F lights off. Is this too much of a swing?

intervals are short.. there's a delay between drop in temp and plant actually getting "colder" which shortens any potential length of time where the plant gets colder than the average ... so i doubt this is an issue. if you consistently get fall colors late in bloom and can rule out gentics due to near 100% consistency, then you can probably assume it got a little too cold at night, but still might not be a major issue relative to 67F... borderline temp (at worst) and only a temporary state as mentioned above.

The difference between day and night should be between 4K and a maximum of 9K. During the day and at night, the fluctuations should be much smaller. I set mine to a delta of 2k because I only have a 2-point controller. A PID controller would be nicer ;-)
