Wow that's a lot of snow.... and a LOT of boxes. Amazing you have enough power to heat all of them, lol. Do you have remote thermometers in each box to monitor temperature?

power for palms

Post by coconutmike »

I actually use very little power most small boxes have 1-23 w bulb(fluorescent) and I have some 9 ft palms with 46 w and the more tropical and taller palms I add an extra bulb. I do monitor 3 of my boxes out there at this property and 3 boxes at the other property . average temps in the boxes today ranged from 27F-48F--or -2C to 9C the consumption is not that bad
