Fair enough. This is something I will need to think about for sure. I have been keeping them in my garage, but it can get a bit chilly in there. I do have an area enclosed with reflective material on all sides + top and a south facing window (covered with clear plastic to minimize chill) with supplemental grow lighting, but the temp has probably been a little low at times. I have several heat mats I was going to put in there this year and am even considering a heater for the colder periods. I'll get this %*#& figured out one of these years.

I have already potted my main plants in the 50:25:25 perlite, sand, bark mix....as mentioned in this thread Over winter potting mix? do you suggest I re-think that?

Thank you very much for the links and info.
