Sacrificing Your Warmth for Plants
As I posted a few days ago, I had started some new seeds due to the fact that I finally got my Growneer tent. Right after plants and getting everything set up a snowstorm came through Monday and Tuesday. It got so cold in my garage that I lost a few seeds to the harsh cold of "Good old Colorado." It's truly ok though, I took them from the tent and placed them in one of the cabinets I build. Truly though it didn't end there; I ended up taking the only heater I use when it gets super cold and suck it with the plants. I have sacrificed my heat for plants.. Ha, who does that? The last two days, plus this morning the temp in my room has been a high of 24 degrees and a low of 20 degrees. I won't lie earlier I was having second thoughts about giving up my heater but then I looking into the cabinet. What plants I have left are starting to pull themselves through the soil. I have one that has already dropped its seed cap and four that are starting to spread the seed cap. The other six, well we will see what happens; I will give them a few more days to see if they will pull through. With Colorado's weather being so up and down all the time; like seriously we dropped 70 degrees in 40hrs, so with that being the attitude of Colorado I have decided the seedlings with grow inside this box until I have to transplant them into bigger pots. I think by that point they should be able to handle the up and downs of Colorado's weather.
Anyways I hope that all of you here on Steemit today have an amazing day and it any of you have witnessed snow, enjoy that shit, I know here in Colorado we really need the water. I truly would like a summer with less fire’s this year!

You could always bring them indoors while they are so small. Hang a compact fluorescent bulb above them with constant 24h light.
I hope they grow well.
I live in the garage. They live there with me too. Have kids in home so they have to stay behind locked doors. To follow colorado law. I have a plant light but it is on my plant that in her flowering stage. She is more important, so she gets the light. I dont mind sacrificing my heat for my seedlings.

We all have to make sacrifices some time. Yours seems to be a heroic one.
If you care for your kids like you do your plants then you all have a happy life ahead.
Best wishes.
Ha, I do care for them the same way but their not my kids. Thier my brothers and sisters. So their my nieces and nephews:).
To some it may be heroic but to me it is just the way of life. :)

If your plants could talk, they would thank you! :)
Lol. They thank me every morning I water them.. I think.?!. Ha, ever so often I will open the door just to glance in and the heat hits me and I am like "oh ya'll better fucking love me."
