Advice needed on intake air temps

[brewsex]

Greeting Folks.

First time grower and poster here. I need a little advice on how i can raise the temps of my intake air. The intake air gets as low as 50-55 degrees on some nights which i think might be too low and is causing some problems with my girls.

 

my box is set up in a corner of my basements, the size is 4' x 3' x 7 feet tall. I have a 600watt hps with 175cfm 4" exahust fan.

 

Unfourtinatly my house has no heat runs in the basement so it gets quite cold some nights. i did try a plug in heater inside but i dont think it was helping too much because all the fresh air coming in was so cold. for now im running the fan only when the lights are on and that keeps the temps in check but because the fan is off when the lights are off the humidity gets up over 70% some times. Would just putting the fan on a timer schedule or thermostat solve my problems. i dont know if it would because the temps on the air coming in is so low.

 

I guess about 65-70` is what i should be shooting for. But i wanted to hear someone else thoughts.

 

Thanks in advance.
