Default Some photos of my winter growing area.

I left the top of this "box" open, otherwise it'd get too hot and the plants will get toasted. They seem to be pretty happy, outdoor temp is mid 30s to mid 40s lately, lots of rain as well. I'm hoping these plumerias will sprout lots of new growth. Grow light is a 1000 watt metal halide, with 4-foot parabolic reflector. The enclosed area measures 6' x 6' x 8'. If I turn on the fan, the temp is 78, w/o the fan, it gets to 82.

Hehe, believe me I tried to convince my wife that the plants would be OK in our dining room next to a south window, and I can just hang the light there. That plan was shot down, obviously. But I want them to grow, not just survive.
