Still a few more weeks with low temperatures at night and a few freezing days too. The Bitcoin mining cold frame stays plenty warm for the cannabis starts. The S9 will have to continue to heat this cold frame for another month or so. As the weather gets warmer it will be less and less necessary. I'll have to find something else to do with the heat or it doesn't make sense to run the machine.

I love the use of the s9 in this way is there a community of users that have standard techniques for using s9 in this or other creative ways or are you just figuring it out as you go?

I'm in a miming group on telegram. I think there is one called home mining wizards. I keep forgetting to add the #plebminer hashtag. There are a bunch of pleb miners on Twitter still.

Double spending energy mining Bitcoin and heating this cold frame growing cannabis and vegetable starts.

Now that I've been using the S9 to heat the cold frame for a couple weeks I'm confident that it can keep consistent temps and not dry things out too much. I moved all the starts I had growing in a window inside out to the cold frame where they can get more light.

The starts from indoors are very leggy and the seedlings started in the cold frame are at various stages of growth due to a mouse that kept eating the seeds I replaced after a rogue chicken plucked up the majority of the initial sprouts. All in all, doing better than last year thanks to the extra warmth from the Bitcoin miner.

Nice setup!
