@Benjic93 mate, don't worry. A little insulation goes a LONG way. That stuff our dear friend has suggested @Finchmad_79 is a very good one! That is just plastic strand from clear plastic coke bottles :idn: Plus it's more fire retardent.

I reckon a roll of this would be itself back by the end of your next grow at least! Payed you back with less electric bills and better weed :dance:

Get on it Benj, wrap your ladies up and get them cosy.

Personally, I think your pissing in the wind unless you start using insulation. Even if you don't want to goto the expense of kingspan, consider draping some loft insulation over your tent something like this

It's cheap and non irritant. Even using spare duvets, blankets and sheets over your tent will help to retain some heat.
I have always been hesitant to say too much about insulating like this in case of fire hazard, but as long as you are careful not to cover up electrical sockets all is good.

A duvet is a good idea.

I always have an old bedsheet draped over my tent too and then another one or two hung around my shed door to stop warm air escaping and cold air ghetting in.

Every little helps.
Rik, you will find most, if not all insulation is fire retardant. Pretty sure it has to meet meet fire/ building regs.

To be honest mate I inow I'm pissing in the wind. It gets to me! I was going to start piling on duvets and sheets over the tent but I thought that wouldn't make a bit of difference. I've even got the tent sat on an old shaggy rug lol. I will be getting round to insulate the shed and I'm actually bed shopping for a bigger bed so I'll have spare duvets lying around
You think that'll stuff will be alright? Contemplating going B&Q after work to pick it up. Just wrap it around the tent you reckon?
Cut long lengths and go up and over and down the other side of your tent, like an upside down U

A little on the higher end of the price bracket though. I got mine for 20% of the price.

They look pretty good though and safe.

That is what they use for clearing bathroom mirrors of condensation.

That could be a good option though like you said about the humidity. Another parameter to help dial in the groom :dance:
