I used 1 of these 2 years ago during the winter months.

Sunbeam Ceramic Heater: Heating, Cooling, & Air Quality : Walmart.com

I had it hooked up to a timer it would go on when the grow lights turned off. It kept the grow area warm at the same temp as when the lights were on. If I hadn't used it my plants would've died from the drastic temp drop.

Found a larger version 105w Amazon.com: Milliard Durable Waterproof Seedling Heat Pad 48"x20": Patio, Lawn & Garden

The 53w raised the air 3~ degrees I think a 105w should do 5 to 7 degrees (60-63 at night 70-75 day).

/ordered the 105w if it doesn't work I'm sure I'll use it for something else.

Update in case anyone was wondering.

With heat pad at night 66-68
With heat pad at day 75-77 with a small fan on probably 77-80 without the fan.


hydroponic buckets are half way on the pad with air pumps out side (cooler air) water's 68-71.
