Hi - in what temperature range can you use the produce effectively? I'm in Chicago and we're just coming off unusually cold winter.

Hello, I'm also in Chicago as well. I used this product during the fall for several basement foundation cracks when temperature was still in the 60's. I was able to contact the manufacturer to order additional parts and pieces. They were very helpful and should be able inform you of the exact product temperature range. The product worked extremely well to date. No leaks.

I used it this January/February and am just outside of Chicago. No problems with the frozen foundation or ground.

When used indoors the ambient temperature in the basement should be above 40 degrees. If your sealing from the outside in, outdoor temps must be above the freezing mark.

We live in north central iowa and have had no problem and no leaks on that repair. I did the repair last sept. The manufacture should be able to tell you the temp, range for the repair or wether frozen ground will affect it.

I sealed the basement wall crack in shoreline area in Connecticut in January - outside temp was in 30 and in basement temp was in upper 50. It works fine.the polymer actually foamed up ad dry within couple hours. It seem works well.

Yes. For cooking vegetables like carrots and beets, I've used them at 185 F for 4 hours.

SPEC'S: Avoid temperatures below -10C (14F) or above 60C (140F). However, I tried it in my great cold City of Chicago last week when it was below 0, and it worked......barely.

I had to drive 10 miles in hot weather, so I placed the vegetables in the separate trays but stacked them in a cooler. I placed the ice in the bottom when I arrived. It worked great!

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol

Since I live in Los Angeles, the only freezing temperatures we experience is brutal 50 degree weather :). On a more serious note, I believe the product is also meant to be used in freezing climates to eleviate the issue you are concerned about. Sorry I could not be of more help on this one.

Most veggies cannot survive frost, tomatoes are among them. The temperature inside the Grow Camp is little different from the temperature outside. 32 degrees outside means 32 degrees inside. You need heat to use it in freezing weather. I've had success with my 4 x 8 Grow Camp by using a common "milk house" heater (1,500 Watts) and a good moisture resistant thermostat set at 45 degrees. This heater protects all within the tight vinyl cover down to 25 degrees. With expected temps below this I add a 10 x 12 heavy duty tarp folded around the Grow Camp. This has combination has protected all down to 15 degrees, which we often get overnight in spring and fall in the high desert of Central Oregon. I figure that, with all the effort, the tomatoes cost me about $5 each...that's why they taste so much better. The joy of growing and eating is worth it.

I haven't had an issue with the temperature. Being Native American, our ancestors even dried meat outdoors and it didn't kill us :)

I guess it is a little warmer. My carrots are cold so I don't really notice if it is much warmer. I would think heat would be a by product of the process.

What zones can these survive outside in the winter? I am in zone 4 in Iowa.

I live in middle TN & our weather is similar. Put in a large pot , leave it on a porch out of direct light in the summer, and bring it in when the temp starts getting cold (about 45F). It should be okay. I had surgery & wasn't able to bring mine in this winter & it died-my fault. I will get another one in the spring. Also, they are not very big plants. Be sure to google search for the right amount of different soil: high grade potting soil, mulch & I think at least one other. You can buy these at any place that specializes with plants. Just mix them up & plant- DO NOT OVER WATER. Good Luck!

I have one in a pot in my porch along with some caladiums and it did just fine during the winter. It came back beautifully during mid spring. I put another in the ground last summer and the temps this winter did drop below freezing. So I'm not sure how the one in the ground will do. I'll update on that one later this spring.

I have the 2' model which I often use during the winter months, but I live in the California Bay Area; the temperature rarely gets to 35-40F. The heated mat is supposed to provide warmth (to help sprout seeds) to 20F above ambient. You may need to provide additional heat in your garage depending on how cold it gets outside.

In NY I was very successful planting indoors , then out after danger of frost. Only one lived over the winter however.BR

In my opinion - - expect around the 4200k area. Unless something has changed lately. I will also say that they still perform very well with the addition of Foliar feeding during Veg, (very nice), dark period will need to be increased. cheers
