600w rigs work in the winter.
My favorite is an adjust-a-wing reflector with a light on each end. (custom
)Plants seem to prefer 600w HPS + 400w MH but I run them both at 600 when it's really cold or I'm finishing a crop -- like now.
600w is the most efficient HID and I run both ballasts on a 240v circuit, so efficiency isn't terrible.

I have 115V outlet and ballasts. I was going to try to cover approx 6'X4' with the two hoods, they are big hoods also. It doesn't get very cold here and I have an insulated room 6X6X8 to grow in. With the CMH's I believe I wouldn't need to switch bulbs between veg and flower also. Want a 600W 240V HPS ballast? lol600w rigs work in the winter.

Depends on our moon phase and a few other things. Talking to us is always dangerous.I made someone smile today.
A cashier at a convenience store that I stop by infrequently.
She has worked there for a few years.
Last year she she was not working when I stopped so I thought
maybe she had moved on. This morn she was working.
I told her it was good to see her and inquired about her absence.
She said she had been working at a different location.
I told her "You are very attractive and I like stopping here when you are working."
She rewarded me with a smile.
I bid her a good day and left the store.
I don't see her often so she may not remember that I exist other than that one line.
Is offering a compliment without being prompted to a "stranger" considered
Creepy old man?
or
Mysterious Gentleman?
I was just talking to @Bob Zmuda he said they just got 4' dumped and he's pissed only 1/2 the lifts are running while the mountain is closed LOL and another 4' are expected!
OMG I don't know how you do it.

I plant by the moon cycles. Have never used them to harvest.
For planting you want to plant above ground crops when the moon is growing {waxing} and below grounds when it's getting smaller {waning}.

Long leaf is what I have. The few still alive would be fine. Not sure about the ones dead for 4 months.
How we did our cabin when I was a kid was to strip the bark off with a drawing knife and let the log dry before using it to build with. These are plenty dry. Not sure how hard it would be to get the bark off.

I got 5 gallons of my hurricane gas put in my car this morning. I had two old ginny's and neither of them agreed to work after the storm. About 10 days in I used a wifi hot spot at my work {we housed first responders early on} to buy a cheapo off Amazon. The wife said, "you know we will get power back as soon as we get it, right?" I said, "it's will be worth it then."
So three days later we got the generator and I bought 15 gallons of gas for it. We ran it about an hour before the lights came on. So I've been trying to remember to get that gas in the cars and truck. This was the 2nd jug I've used, so I'm down to just 5 gallons left.

^^^^Hoping for a similar outcome with our cable here at work. I may have mentioned I watch FSU basketball. Some of the games are on channel 13.2 out of Panama City. That is a channel that is on my cable package at work, but not on my Dish at home. With no good intel about when we will get cable back, I bought a indoor antenna off Amazon for work. The plan being to use it at home once we got cable back. Well last week I had a night off I didn't expect, and was caught out without an antenna to watch the game. So I spent 25 bucks on another one. We got it Friday. I need to go check the cable and see if it's working.

I think the major difference was they had access to old growth trees with tighter rings and larger sizes.

They only said 2-4” here in the Twin Cities and I had already cleared that off the driveway by noon.

All the old houses around here used to be made with the heart wood of the pine. What we call lightered {fatwood}. It last forever, or until it burns.

Slash pine was king here for a long time. Now we are going back to the longleaf that used to be here naturally.{we took 28 acres out of rowcrops and planted longleaf on a conservation program. They paid for the planting, part of the cost of seedlings, and $1K a year for 15 years} But the swamp woods are all big here too. Cypress, Juniper, etc. And of coarse oak is the main hardwood.
Here the main drawback to log cabins are the carpenter bees/woodpeckers. No matter what the wood, you have to cover it or treat it with something to keep them out. What happens is the bees bore into the wood, then the peckerwoods tear it apart getting to them.

We are lucky and don't have carpenter bees, just carpenter ants. We do have bark beetles that are killing tens of thousands of drought stressed pines and the lumber companies have no use for standing dead trees. Most of my wife's family worked in the lumber mills.
