Heating?
What kind of light do you plan on using?
Where do you plan on growing?
How much heat do you need?
Some space heaters can use ALOT of power!
On top of what you need to grow you plants...
Are you trying to warm your area when its lights out?
Not So Rookie Anymore

I use a space heater but only the stand up radiator oil filled type. Set the thermostat and done. I think the oil filled radiator types dont drop my humidity so bad. I've used the little tiny plug-in space heaters and watched my humidity drop to 10%. That was the end of those.

Yeah, I leave mine on medium and the thermostat set. It runs mostly at lights out. It don't blow at all. There is no fan on my type of heater. The fan on the wall circulates everything.

Your relative humidity will drop when your air temperature increases. Warmer air can hold more moisture Relatively Speaking. The same air can be cooled off and the humidity will go so high that moisture condenses on cooler objects. If you need to increase humidity just place a one quart per square foot container of water on the tent floor. Leave a rag dipped in the water and hanging over the container edge to increase evaporation. Wife says I should call the rag a piece of fabric because it's more refined.

I'm not playing with wet towels or anything of the kind. I run a 3000 square foot humidifier in the grow room. I'm simply stating I find that running a forced air heater seems to affect my humidity more then an oil filled non forced air heater.My environment is always in check. I'm simply sharing with the OP my experience.
