Zoom in on the HGK and it is very shiny indeed!

So I decided to do a test or at least re assure what I all ready knew.

Plants in a hoop house in so cal with out a heater will freeze . Will start new cuts or seed in January for a spring crop.
I've run winter plants before in freezing temps but always fully enclosed and with a heater. Didn't feel like babying these and wanted to see if because they were at least covered if they could make it. Not.

Your sharing your pains is most appreciated folks. 10Q :0)

 

[SomeGuy]

I've gotta check on mine. So far they have been surviving.,. So far. Lol

 

[Javadog]

We have had some very bright and clear days even when cold....is that a factor?

 

[ruby fruit]

We are lucky in oz i guess we may have 3 days during winter around -2 or -3 and thats it where i live ...and thats in rare occasions

 

[SomeGuy]

Not sure. They are also in smartpots so like a raised bed. Our raised bed is not covered yet doing well. The weed is under cover but its not.sealed like a GH. I think I could pull it off here if I had one. Soon...soon...lol

I just read 19 degrees for low this morning near LA and freezing temps as far south as San Diego in low inland areas, warmer near the coast. Where you growing that PH @FLkeys1 ?

The clearer the colder. No clouds to trap heat

[SomeGuy]

So you in Socal? I checked my outdoor this morning. top 1/2" of soil on the top of the smart pots was frozen but the rest was not. So it would seem they are holding up. Plants look great.
