I want to start growing in the woods but since winter is here I need ideas to keep my plants warm. I need something that will blend in with the woods and won't stand out. I was thinking about using a cardboard box with the inside lined with plastic sheeting. Is this going to be effective? Does anybody have any better ideas?

You need a green house and supplemental lighting you can't put a plant in an area where it will freeze just doesn't work. You understand you are going too start flowering right away and probably Reveg, I would veg it indoors then plant it outside in May. You're plant is gonna die. I owna green house and without heat it gets just add cold as outside

I'm planting directly in the ground because I've read that putting the plants in pots will make them less resilient to the cold. It starts to warm up in march where I live.

cardboard box would stick out like a sore thumb and hows your plant gonna get light??
build a pvc frame and cover with plastic sheeting but the bottom. put over your plant and call it a day.

That's probably what I'll do. And I'll get a battery operated space heater to keep them warm.

if the heater is needed. these plants can deal with temps to almost freezing and over 100 degrees. would only run the heater if the temp is going to get near freezing.

A battery ran space heater?
Wha da fuck? Heats burn up so much power it's not even funny. At most they run 120 hours....
And that is for a small propane one.
Do they even make battery ones?
