Ecscuba's blog: cold, cold, cold

Posted on Feb 23, 2015 2:51 PM

After a week of above high temps (70's and almost 80) we are now freezing as of yesterday --drizzling rain - door to GH hard to open this A.M. By 10 A.M. (a couple hours without heater) the GH was only 48 degrees. Three 65 watt bulbs, two strands incandescent rope lights, and 3' grow light were all that was keeping it warm. Added three mylar blankets around the corners and it is now running 57.3. This GH has clear solar pool cover on roof and wrapped inside around the walls, so makes a big difference. Outside temps running 33.

Popup cathedral GH having a little harder time now that I've moved it out from under the patio. Although it is tented with mylar blankets, and two 65 watt light bulbs and two incandescent rope lights, it is staying around 51 degrees.
