Hello, it is starting to cool down here in Tubac, AZ; the low temps will be 54 degrees. I learned on this forum that roots go dormant at 54.5 degrees. I was wondering if anyone knew what temp differences exist between outside temps and the temp inside of 3 & 5 gln containers with CHC/peat mix? Or recommend a way for me to find out other than with a thermometer in the middle of the night.

Thanks!!

I forgot to mention the high temps are still in the high 80's... So I don't want WLD!

Thanks again!
