I wish I could envision a way to install little water heaters in the InnTainer reservoirs, but with the small PVC tubes I've got, I can't imaging a way. Even removing the tubes and digging down, I'd still have to get through the lower hole. By the time I dug down, I'd have damaged the plant roots. Maybe next round.

Hey Naysen,

Put a heated seedmat on a piece of insulation foam and under your inntainer. If you need more warmth, get a water heater blanket, cut it in thirds and wrap the inntainer. You can also regulate heat with an intermittent timer.

Good Luck,

Rick
