I'm wondering what light to get - I have a small tent (same as growdiaries.com/diaries/21875-first-time-blueberry-autoflower) At the moment they're in the house When they start to smell the tent is going to have to go in the garage where it gets pretty cold 😎

Ok let me understand this since you are constrained on character count. Dont buy a light to heat the tent just yet. You need a light for UP to 3x3 I am with Grey Wolf on that TS-1000, have one in a 2.5 ft veg tent and love it. Excellent full spectrum light, Migrow did a review on youtube recently IIRC. You will need enough head space for @20 inches of distance from plants. Price is just unreal good. Now lets keep those plants indoors. Seriously get a carbon filter and a 4 inch extraction fan. pull the air out clean it and just dump it in the house it will reduce your heating bill and you will smell no more than venting outside. It works I am using exactly that. That is also very difficult to impossible to detect from outside the home or even another room. In summer you may have to deal with heat but hell who doesnt :)

Hello LordSzrael, i understand your problem. Lukcely this is easy to solve, you van make the choice of a led like the ts-1000 from mars hydro. The led light makes no noise and is big enough for your space, down side is that the temprature couod be too cold. Another option is an 250 hps, also enough light for your space and also a lot of heat that comes with it. My personal recommendation would be the ts-1000 because you can adjust the strenght of the light, and as for the colder temps u can use a small heater that pulls very little wattage. Hope this was am helpfull answer my friend. If so give a likw for the answer. Keep on growing. Peace 👍🏾

@LordAzrael Im gonna suggest a mars ts 1000 or sp250 simply because they are quite cheap to purchase and run plus the drivers on top generate enough heat to help with the cold problems Once you get a few grows under your belt then look at more expensive higher performance lights Good luck

For heating considerations, I go with HPS or CMH. LED’s are great but won’t help much to keep the heat up. However, you may have the opposite issue in the summer. Good luck!

Hello my friend It is true that 100w should be enough but it will not solve the problem of cold in your tent 🤐 A 250w Hps should bring you a surplus of heat and a much better light spectrum. And, moreover, an acceptable return 😁 May the strength be with you 💪
