I have two layers on the two Northrly walls
I peeled back the layer on the ceiling
If it helped, it wasnt much....:meh:
I roll up both south and west walls on sunny days anyway.
Next winter I will have to remodel and make her more efficient against the cold ;)

Hey Cheese, Hopefully if everything goes as planned...I will be able to trick it out good this fall;)
maybe a split ac heat and seal the whole thing up:D


Things are Not going as planned in the GH right now :(
This last cold spell was hard on em
They look well feed, but they are completely stalled from the cold:depressed:
It really sucks.:banghead: ..If they take too much longer to start again...
I might have to litedep the whole GH:facepalm:
Thats not gonna be easy:yuck:

Hope they snap back fast

yeah those space heaters are expensive to run.

Ken, this thread is too long and I'm too ADD to remember--did you say you use passive heating in this GH? If not, definitely look into it!

 

[caregiverken]

I have 2450k in MH lights plus T5s running in the house too :confused:
And My wife likes the house warm..so yeah...I hope its only 1k

No I used Half ass Heating:bag: ..Electric Oil raditator type

the little CFLs were getting warm..but I shut those off last week:wacky:

 

[Amber]

Hey Seamaiden, I know this wont suprise you. Because I have seen your snow covered seedlings :)

Yeah I put that snow there for the photo ;) ...but they really were covered in snow yesterday

Well they are probably still chilly from that and are not that stoked that you had to get a picture.

I am not sure how the weather is supposed to be but I saw an article about keeping roots warm for days like these that I thought was cool, never tried it but sounded logical to me. You know those hand and boot warmers they sell for like survival and first aid kit type things. To put those around the base to keep roots warm.

:woot::woot::woot:seal it and split it. Yes that is what I'm talking about. If you do that though you should hit me up about everything I wish I did different that one time when I thought AC in the greenhouse would be cool.

At what point does it become indoor?;)

When there is no sun involved? o_O

I have found those cold temps (28-42 F) really shock the shit out of the plants and often it takes a week or two for them to kick back up. Temps hovering around the freezing mark don't kill them but it surely stalls them out severely. It's frustrating for sure.

You may want to cover your north side wall with insulation and sheathing (inside and out). Very little sun comes from that way anyway. I'll be doing that to my GH this Spring.

 

[Seamaiden]

<cough>Christmas lights<coughcough> wrap them around/over pots if no passive heating available.

 

[bigcheese510]

what about a big electric blanket sprawlled out with the potted plants on top ?

 

[caregiverken]

I am finding that out too Kolah :confused: I knew it..and I had to go and find out the the hard way:banghead:

And I didnt Take any of all the Great advice and tips you Friendly farmers have offered :bag:

Things were going pretty good though, untill I made the mistake of peeling back the ceiling plastic.:facepalm:
It was holding in some heat...and I was planing on pushing back in place each evening..but Im a lazy mo fo...Gotta snap outta that soon for the Light deps that I told myself I wasnt gonna do anymore:confused:

So My Shit is stalled out ...I just hope to get lucky like every other time :wacky:

On the Bright Side,

It's another sunny Morning in Central Cal.
