It seems more insects at summer time than winter.

Hello Sara:
Like many smaller growers, I utilize a small but rugged electric space heater with a thermostat. It is hung where it can't touch anything and placed near the floor on the opposite side from the room exhaust filter so the warm air is gently drawn across the grow area. It comes on automatically whenever the temperature drops below 64 degrees F.
A small humidifier can be added to maintain some humidity but I have not needed one since plants transpire a lot of water into the air and the humidity rarely drops below 30 percent. In my opinion too much humidity is a bad thing with cannabis, it can allow many pests and pathogens to thrive.
Also, many of us run our lights to operate during the nighttime period as much as possible. In winter that allows the lights to help keep the room warm and in summer it allows the lights to function as much as possible during the cooler period to minimize their heat impact.
Peace, Hyena
