Well as you know we all have had some abnormal freezing weather. Lets hear how your plants are doing.

I finial was able to get out into my epi house. The hi-lo temp tells me that it get down into the low 30's at least once. Surprisingly I have only one plant that looks to be cold damage, anyway that's what I think the purple blotched on it are. It is my Miss America, I have had other problem with cuttings of this, so I do not know if it is just a weak plant or not. It was on the front of the middle shelf so was not that far from the little heater.
All the plants around it look fine for now.Even the plants near the outer walls look good. I even have new grown, thought in one case the growth is a little odd shaped. I thought I had a bud as the growth is narrow then spread out into a bud shape at top. Darn it!!!! The out of season pink NOID is still blooming so I do have some flowers to cheer me along.
I am going to make changes to the epi house before next winter.

Hope to hear that everyone has true buds forming soon
