D3's 2016 Growlog

Well 2016 is already fast approaching and it's time to start thinking about what to grow this coming year. Last year I started seeds in mid Dec and was running out of room for plants by the time plant out finally came. I think this year I will start the majority in January. 
 
I was going through my seeds to send to a few and figured it was time to start formulating a list of what I want to grow. 
There was a lot that I grew 2015 that while ok, I didn't see myself growing again and a few that definitaly made the grow list again. a few off the top my head being paper lantern, baha goats and moa bonnets. Just the right heat levels and great as smoked powders.

Awesome Salt water tank!!!! Always wanted one but couldn't afford it so I got a 20/55gall fresh water tanks.
Nice plants Too :)
I used to have a really nice 75gal planted tank. When I can finally afford to finish the basement I'm going to do side by side fw and salt in wall tanks.

Thanks, I always feel like they look like shit, not enough light and over crowded. 15 day forcast showes upper 70's every day. So tempting to just get them into the ground.
I think a lot of people start seeds to early, myself included. Next year I think I'm going for March 15 sowing on most varieties.

How many plants your growing this year?

Upper 70's sounds nice, there talkin maybe 60 here tomorrow and that would be great.

Cheers
 
Ok so after looking around online I think for $300 this is a pretty good deal. Should be a decent size for all my seedlings. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-ft-x-8-ft-greenhouse-47712.html?utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fthehotpepper.com%2Ftopic%2F58459-the-bum-is-back-for-2016%2Fpage-10
 
I'd assume it would get to0 hot in the summer to keep plants in there after spring but if I built some shelves that fold up I could put my seedlings on the shelves in spring and in fall fold on sides shelves up and put all my container plants in there to extend their season. 
 
Maybe even store overwinters in there?
 
Low is 46 tonight, half tempted to leave them outside overnight. What's yalls opinions on the matter, do you think it's safe to leave them out overnight?

Pulled a crap ton of weeds and the old dead plants. Some strawberries, bok choy and a few small red lettuces are popping up. I also spread a few small bags of mushroom compost but I am going to need some more. I'd also like to add some additional amendments if there's any suggestions. I do have some elemental, stinks to high heaven when you apply it.

Crosses have been outside for several days hiding in the shade. Had my wife cover them with a sheet last night because it was in the 30s but they still look just fine.

The bahamian goat X butch t yellow I transplanted from the hydro on the other hand is suffering some serious transplant shock.

I don't leave them out at night until it's 50 or above the GH really helps with that. Personally I think it really stalls them but other people's mileage may vary. I would cut that big plant way back and cross my fingers.

27f here this morning brrr and calling for snow tomorrow night.. yay

Cheers
