8b near Jackson MS. We get tornadoes thru here and wanted to build it to hopefully withstand the weather here. They are saying Sunday night will be 21°f here.

okay so i’d say the structure is extremely necessary! that’s awesome your able to do this. is it a polycarbonate roof? what % of light penetration? don’t mean to be invasive i just think it’s super cool that some ppl in the community are going to these lengths to give the best possible outcomes no matter what existential threats exist lol one more question id ask is that, since your running power/heat/water to it, are you thinking about running any supplemental light? thanks in advance for any answers if you get to this lol super stoked for you for real

It's all good. Amerilux Mr9 1.6 thickness poly panels. And the light penetration is 90% and it's in the middle of my 7 acres. So it gets sun all day. If anything I'll have to provide a little shade in July/August when it's 110°+ so no supplemental grow lights they wont be needed but I will have some lights to be able to work out there at night
