Here's a funny thing that happened to me recently. My buddy at work is a farmer and usually grows 300 to 400 varieties of veggies. He told me how he will be shutting the grow lights off two weeks before Easter every year. The weather here is low 25 at night to high 50 during the day. I asked him how and he told me portable green houses? He buys the biggest clear totes from Wally World and they have to have clear tops and sides also. He said he puts them outside when it is 40 degrees and brings them in at night. He leaves the lids snapped tight and doesn't take off till they are back in the house. He leaves them all in the totes till the next morning.
I figured why not give it a try. I took 10 plants that I had extras and willing to take a chance with. I was pretty shocked that this worked really well. My plants seemed to grow better in the box than under the lights it kept all the moisture in also. We are still 5 weeks away from planting outside. So I will continue with the 10 plants and see how it goes.
