Heat Wagon

It seems this year the nights have been cooling off more than normal so an indirect heater has been added with a thermostat. The advantage of an indirect heater is that only hot air is added to the growing area without unwanted exhaust gasses.

The plant area is large so to remain realistic, the goal is to keep the growing area in the 63F-66F (17-19C) at night. The goal is to try and keep the pumpkin growing and cells expanding as long as possible.
