Well for this winter I want to store all my mother plants pups. Also have to bring in my Gros Michael,and other smaller nanner plants in a few months. This storage unit is built on the back of our house. Its has electric outlets. Cost to build a small greenhouse would be really expensive I assume. Haven't looked yet on ebay for a smaller some what cheap greenhouse. BUT if I bought a 1500watt thermo controlled heater,and hooked up my old 36" T5 HO hood with one or two 39watt bulbs -10,000k would this work to keep my plants happy?

What temp would keep them happy/alive? Only really tender plants will be Gros Michael,Siam Ruby pups.

How many hrs of light for them to survive?

Thanks
