Default Re: Still Think TX Star Can't Handle Zone6? - How About Zone 4?

Thanks Chong fo rclarification..believe it or not, I am a handy person with a wonderful Imagination, but alas I have worked in quality control for long enough to where I don't build, cut, or bolt anything till I have full and proper paperwork. Kinda sucks at times. And especially with this setup, you can never really tell if the guy has anything structurewise on the inside which may have been done out of past experience which someday I could learn from that experience and possibly not lose a single nanner. My brain works in absolutely wonderful ways, just getting it on the right track proves difficult at times with all these tangents.

Now with the light situation....I know from experience growing veggies at least, that if giving the plant a light source 24/7 actually will kill the plant. Most plants that I know of need dark for a period of time each day to rest, or else like a person on a severe water and food binge, will eventually eat themselves to death. And, I personnally don't feel that if you get winds under 0 degrees anywhere in the world, 58 BTUs is not going to be enough to keep the ground from freezing under the structure unless the encasement used lets say a house as a wall in which you might get some radiant heat from.

Just my pennies, don't spend it all in one place!
