A polytunnel gets cold at night as well.

Depends how big the tunnel and heater is.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Overnight temps here are forecast to get lower, fortunately not below freezing. What have you got in the tunnel?

Prob everything which shouldn't be there, but it would be impossible to heat a room warm enough in this house. If it grows great, if not will try when it is warmer.
