Heat from LED'S to keep 4x8 tent warm

I've got (2) 4x8 tents in a room that's 10x20 and I've made the decision to keep my grow lights on for a continuous period of 24 or maybe even 48hrs, to provide necessary heat during this serious cold wave (-8) at night, that we're having in Missouri. I'm set up in my garage, not in a basement, so controlling temps can be very challenging. I'm already runnin 2 space heaters too. Has anybody ever done this before ? I'm gunna go back to 12/12 as soon as I can. Oh yeah, I'm in week 4 of flower. Peace

    • Ive heard stories of something like a sterno cooking can on a brick with a small teracotta pot flipped upside down over the top will warm a good area in a deer stand.  Not that open flame is really a good idea in a tent but i wish you luck!

        My take is, if it's just for a couple days, and you return to 12/12 asap, I'll be ok. The dark cycle is what drives the flowering response, so returning to 12/12 should put the plant back on schedule. We'll see !!!  @  Sarge... I have a mouser that comes in and out of the room. She's been known to knock shit over. That would be risky !! Thanks yall

        • Most space heaters turn off when they get knocked over, I would check that, if you have some bricks to stack around them to keep the cat from knocking them over and you should get some residual heat off them too.

          When it warms up to -8 we usually go swimming up here in Maine. lol. Actually I saw a couple of guys walking out onto the lake this morning at 7:00 am this morning and it was -6 with a strong wind coming out of the North. I dont get it but they looked happy.
