They'll be out most of the winter, but - light?

I'm in Zone 9B and most of those pesky phala-whatsis will spend most of the winter out under shade cloth:)

Shelf life of diluted Kelpac growth stimulant

They also have a fertilizer, so I thought I should specify - The root stimulant.
I usually use a thirty gallon pail for my dunking tank, but I suspect I will need to use a separate pail for this...

Dunk tank and dropping temperature problems
