Wow, man, that's amazing. I've never seen anyone get so many female fingers on a Caligold or Dwarf Orinoco before.

Well done

Definitely trimming these to 2-3 hands with time left before it cools down. More waste..

It did get down to 9F where the other mat is.. Here my meter read a low of 21F. I put heat-tapes on them since my power here is very reasonable.. Heat-tapes are much cheaper than indoor winter lighting.. Caligold is basically an Orinoco that doesn't grow as tall (but is not a Dwarf Orinoco), and I had not protected @ either place and they are all coming up.. :^)
