Rick, thanks for the rundown on your experience. One of the first things I considered was switching my plant's "daytime" to the colder night hours. That way they could benefit from the not insubstantial light source heat when it's most needed. I scratched that idea, as I have a good deal of light scrolling through the garage door windows, and while I could shield against it (and are to some degree with the mylar, I didn't want to risk the plants getting confused about sleep time, etc.

I have a heat mat that I haven't even unwrapped yet, so I'll pull it out and experiment some to see what kind of temperature I can get the media at from the heat mat alone.

Thanks for the ideas.
