Cold temps sux

[BillyKidd]

Chopped both my plants down now.
The MG grow turned out descent, it's still curing right now, but after hanging it to dry, I came up with about 2 ounces on it, waiting to see what the finally tally is.
My last one I had to chop down due to freezing temps. It's all jarred up as well now.
Here's a couple of shots before jarring it up.

My autos were not ready enuf, so I dug them up and inside they went, I'm not fighting the weather this year.

I was hoping to get at least 2 more weeks in on her, but 3 nights getting below 25...wasn't going to risk it.

BillyKidd The cold weather blows hard. I have a good sized grow room in my barn, but the cost of heating that make it cost prohibitive. Running a propane tank in for a refill every 3 or 4 days is less than convenient where electric is out of the question. Wish there were a way to store some of the heat from those 100+ temperatures of the summer.

starramus heat can be captured and saved for later, or even captured with panels for use now. BUT the time to pay for the system is way to long.

In a GH one could build a black rock wall in the center, positioned so the sun shines on it during the day, it would collect heat while the sun is on it and radiate it when not.

I am well aware of that. In fact we have black painted water barrels in the green house at my urban house. I am fantasizing about some high tech long term storage system that goes against the laws of thermodynamics. Science fiction that has no place in the real world.

I have a 10x12 storage building I converted to a grow room, but not winterized yet.
Going to get that done this winter and see where it goes from there.
