Grow Mediums How should I keep my six - 5gal fabric pots warm?

I have six 5gal fabric pots in my tent, but directly under my tent is concrete. The concrete is rather cold during this time of year. Does anyone have any recommendations about keeping my roots warm?

Use heat mats (germination mats). Fairly cheap and they will do the job.

I keep a 2in thick piece of insulation on the bottom underneath the insert

Risers to keep the bags off of the concrete and for air flow under the bags.. baking cooling racks or planter pot saucers turned upside down for the bags to stand on.. :smoking:

I did something similar and put 2” foam insulation board on the basement floor then set the tents up on top.

yup, exactly that. The white styrofoam boards are cheap and effective. If you get the pot bottoms off the floor of the tent and aerated, that will help even more.

Good luck with it.

I purchased 4 heat mats. I will also pickup a sheet of Styrofoam insulation to elevate the pots off the floor.

I've got a 4x4 tent and the pots sat right on the concrete, also with 4 plants in the tent it was really hard to trim/lst train the 2 plants in the back.
So I built a 46" lazy Susan, now the pots are up off the concrete and I can access all 4 plants.

Put carpet or polystyrene sheets under the tent and raise your pots off the tent floor.
I use metal fridge shelving and raise them up about 2 inches
