Ok, talking about warmth, in our area in winter it could be down under 30F outside. For example, this morning @ 6:00AM, it's 43F outside and 58F inside (I haven't started my heater yet). I read several articles all point to not below 60F required for A. bulbs. Should I now start heater to keep above 60F? Thanks for advice.

If a plant looks good, smells good, don't eat it, grow it!
