I am going to go to Lowes tomorrow and get the PVC needed to complete the aeroponic cloner that pops up here every now and again.  I don't have a whole lot of room in my house to put it plus a light fixture so I was wondering if it would be worth trying to do it outside in my finished but unheated garage.  I am in Zone 6b/7a and temps will be in the 60's for the highs and lows in the 40's for the next week at least.

Will I do harm to the cuttings if the temperature drops too low during the rooting process?  Or should I just make room in the house?

Depending upon the size of your bin and the heat thrown off by your pump, you might want to invest in a heat mat/thermostat to bring/keep the water up to a higher temp.  Perhaps an inverted clear cup on each cutting to trap more heat?

If the water is warm enough (but not too warm), I'd guess that the overall temp and radiating effect from the water would keep the cuttings safe and happy.

I'm no expert, however, so this is just an opinion.  My basement is warmer that 40 at night and my cloner has produced some terrific results thus far.
