Maybe you need more insulation I think all my plants came to $250 for last 2 months That's 125 c9 lights on thermocubes in a bad 5B winter I had 16 enclosures to protect a 10' an 8' 2x4' and 12 Rose cones... Looks like about 10-15 more days and I'm home free every thing comes off and stays off...

teebee, from what you list that you've heated, you may be correct.
Will get H to check the attic insulation in the "cold building" this year, but the walls are 2x6.
Enjoy your warm-up...

Barb.... We don't have "cold buildings" over here. They are usually full of legal and illegal immigrants who live in outbuildings run by unscrupulous landlords. London is a big problem for this. But there's an idea for you :lol:
