Freeze update2024-01-17 03:53:34The graft looks mostly ok, but both this rootstock and the second one look pretty dead.
Frost protection2024-01-15 02:59:58Covered with a loosely fitting and leaky/torn cloth frost cover for the current freeze, but it does have a 32w LED grow light inside for warmth and light. Sensor shows only a couple degrees warmer than outside, though.
