We froze last night - and still only 33 here and drizzling. Had to work to get the door open to my 6 x 8 GH. Although I had heat on last night, was very low. Three 65 watt incandescents on and 3' T5 grow light and temp was running 48 this morning after heat turned off. Added mylar blankets around three corners - and the temp has jumped to 56.4. Not running heat until night when the lights all go off. Think I'll turn the heat up a bit tonight.

In the small pop up I have tented all the plants with mylar blankets and have two 65 watt incandescents in there. It's staying at 52 - no heater in there at all.

We have a couple days of this to go. Hope the pansies on the patio make it with just a sheet over them.
