I sealed the top with Plexiglas. I turned on the heat tape about 1pm. The enclosure was pretty cold as I had it in my truck all morning. When I left the office the temp was 80 with no lighting. That was after 4 hours. I'm thinking it will come up a couple more once the soil and everything warms up. Not 100% sure what I'm going to do on lighting yet. Thinking CFL or LED? I think if I use CFL it will climb another couple degrees and I'll be able to maintain 86.
I'm off work tomorrow but I'm going to call my secretary and see what the thermostat reads from overnight.
