I added a ring of dirt around the base of the house yesterday hoping this will seal in a bit more warm air.

imma do this for the cold days outside. I bought some caster wheels and put them on the bottmon of my pots so i can bring them in at night. I have some flouros and sylvanis plant lights(120) that i set the girls under at night in the house. Im keepin them all in 24 as much as i can right now. It was cold out a couple days ago and the girls didnt like it very much, when i got home i rushed out back and brought them all in like little lost puppies.lol. Peace G!

and when I am done with the house it goes back to being useful again... I used this to corner off the RV parking area from my dogs who like to bark at the kids going to school in the am..


it's working this far so... and a spring crop will be smaller pots say 5 gals each and then cuttings will be taken for the larger 25 gal Fall harvest along with some other seedlings
