I think that's what killed Brian's plants last winter Deb, I'd be hesitant of those automatic things. I might be wrong, but I know something got messed up with his GH last year, somehow cold air got in and killed everything. I can't even imagine.

Tropicanna, most of the investment right now is lights (and the power bill, LOL). My biggest hurdle would be convincing the neighborhood to actually let me build a GH the size I need. We fenced in our yard, but the neighborhood is so new I'm concerned they might not allow me to build something that large and that tall (bc it would be visible from the road). Stupid I know, but perhaps once the Review Board is controlled by our actual neighborhood (and not some third party folks who seem paranoid about things, I guess since half the neighborhood is still going to be for sale).

I kinda like being able to go out in the garage and stroll about in my jungle. I hope to have my first BOP bloom in a few days... it's getting very close, and my wife and I are excited. Never had one bloom before, ever.

I had another thread on the whole Garage/Greenhouse debate (or both once upon a time thing). Photos all the way at the bottom of my current set up. I actually had to remove my larger GH (seen at the top of that thread) bc it took up too much space, and I needed height for the 9' palms.
