3d in 10 gallon
ambulance in 10 gallon
and my big girl the 15 gallon ambulance. 
USo i was working in the greenhouse working on the front door and i accidentally let a 4x4 come crushing down on my girls. I lost 2 good limbs but i was able to turn them into clones but it was still a sad day.

Quick update. I just got back from a week long trip to hawaii and all the girls are doing great and really started getting huge? Here are my two Third dimensions or 3d had to take them out of the greenhouse so i could work on them and clean up all the dead leaves and give them a spray of seem neem oil.

Hold your horses there buck I have squeezed out early plants before my big snows in end of oct. The trick is to keep the snow off and the soil heat around the plants . I have gotten them thru -12 out door temp by putting a car port over them an a space heater .
My advice is to build a box with straw bales if you can get em .an tarp over the plastic to keep the frost off double layer really helps! But it is usually only a few days then back to hot at that altitude until mid nov when snows accumulate .

Build a well reinforced greenhouse for next season. The intense sunlight at 10k feet will give you EXTREME yields. Look up Solexx fabric. It is VERY strong and has a solid 10 year warranty.(I just replaced the roof fabric on both my greenhouses after eleven seasons.)

Frost nipped January bud took it a little too far...imo notice the pink open cell foam panel to keep heat in
Yeah buddy it was down to 34 here at 8200 ft an less in the valley . The 12th-16th looks cold too . Forgot to mention thermal mass . Adding simple buckets of water around them works great . I got a 275 gal tote and 3 55 gal drums in my 20 x 40 green house. I run heaters time to time but that is mostly for daytime tomatoes n keeping them growing

finally pulled down my favorite biggest girl the ambulance... hoping to get a qp or mores off her. I had to cut all my girls down a little early due to my travel plans out of the country and not wanting to worry about all my summer long work but it's definitely my biggest yield so far
