You've got them outside already. Ive been working on taking my cyms out a little at a time and Im up to about 8 hours but Im afraid to leave them out all night yet. Temps are still dipping into the lower 40's.

im afraid to do that. I have no problem letting them get the cold shock in the fall as temps gradually drop but to go from inside, were my grow room is about 58 at night to outside where its a good 10-15 degrees cooler right now. I don't know if I can do that. And mine are just cyms, they like the chill.

you have to remember, that when you read about intermediate temps. Them are never the highs and lows of everyday temps in the habitat.

Bodacious, I was born and raised in Niagara Falls (LaSalle, actually), so I know your area! Nice collection.
