Cold protection - C9 lights and frost cloth

<< < (3/3)

growinginphoenix:
I have been able to keep my jack fruit at or above 45F using frost cloth and C9 lights when it drops to the mid 20s. I was recording the temperature inside the frost cloth and outside in the yard. You just need lots of strings of lights relative to the surface area of the frost cloth. Each bulb is 7 watts. It adds up if you have a lot. Just don't daisy chain too many strands or the fuse in the plug will blow and you will be sad.

Thanks for this, it made me chuckle.  Yes, my lights indicate no more than three strings connected.  Thank goodness I have an outdoor splitter to add more lines!  But detangling afterward is always the nightmare...
