Need heater suggestions

[Laughing Grass]

With my new light and insulation I think I'm going run into heating issue during lights on. My current 1500W heater doesn't have the ability to resume from power loss so I can't use it with a timer.

The space I'm heating is 9x11, I need a efficient heater that can work with a timer. Any suggestions for a heater that I can get in Canada? Preferably from Amazon.

that's not bad and it would fit between my tents.

Yes they take some time to put out full heat. The one Shane linked is probably better for your application. You get colder than we do.

I'm hitting just over 70 with lights out now, I'm concerned that It will get really hot with the heater running 24/7

Likely any 1500W heater will have same issue will not enough power to heat the space.

The heat doesn't run away in oil filled heaters and maximizes to something you can momentarily touch without get a burn. Keyword "momentarily"

I switched my lights-on time to nighttime so as to use the energy more efficiently. Not ideal if you spend the day in and out of the grow space.

The T7 says it's rated for a 10x10 room. It's small and compatible with your other aci stuff. Can't say I've used it yet though.

they don't sell the T7 here only the T3

I ordered the t3. Going to do a test. If it can’t keep up I’ll send it back.

Mine is 1500 watts but I’m never pushing it that hard

Just ordered the Thermoforge S7 heater, using a 4 port AC69 controller right now. Gonna run these 4 off that.

• S7 Heater
• T8 Exhaust duct
• T7 Humidifier S6 circulation fan
• UIS Light adaptor Type B

I'll have to run the seedling mats and circulation fans on a separate AC69 controller in the 2x4 veg tent.
The humidifier runs better independently in the lung rm, using sensor in the tent is too variable to air currents.
Think I'll have to aim the heat duct at the bottom center wall of the tent to diffuse it properly.
Going to get the 8 port AI controller when I move it to a 4x4.

I've had the same experience running a humidifier in the tent. The sensor can't keep up. It took quite a while to figure out. If exhaust is on a constant low, maybe placing the sensor inside the exhaust end might give better readings. I know I can't humidify my lung room, it's vast, uncontrolled and leaks air.
