dunno how costly they are to run for big spaces but red spec heat bulbs are fairly cheap to buy. any light leaks and the neighbors might think you've opened up a knocking shop tho!

Definitely a bad idea....you want to see what happens to plants in these temps? I have 5 dead males in my greenhouse....the cold freezes the cells inside the plants branches, the soil freezes and the plant roots die, all in all, games a bogey!

Only in the summer? I was thinking about just banging a few seeds out as soon the snow goes.. bad idea?

And here is a pic of them, this was only 1 day into the frost. When the cells freeze, the plant just snap in two....poor lads, lucky I got clones of them;)

Aye mate, everything is pretty much fukked to be honest. Lost a whole load of potatoes that I was running over winter (they had got proper big as well (was in a compost sack, just kept filling it up as they grew and the sack was nigh on full - 50l).....frozen solid, fukked tatties! Strawberry starts look fukked, as do my jasmines, my Lemon tree I rescued and brought inside. The only thing that still looks alive is the Oregano for some reason.....pretty bummed but I got tom clones, and a new start of tatties in the house...and of course the wife's Birds of Paridise are all hunky dorey, as are her Avacado plants. Her plants for some reason get to come in when it's cold, lol.

Avacados are fine now that we have sorted out the water issue. I am convinced something is up with my water tank/rain water...ffs. Back to the tap and leaving it out for 24hours.
