I move it indoors to an unheated room for the winter, harvest some, let it die back and just leave the rest to grow again the next year. Are your ginger plants staying green and growing all winter? I didn't realize that could be done, although since it's a tropical plant that makes sense! Your space tent must maintain happy growing temps all winter. Do you have more information on it somewhere?
The tent itself is a HydroFarm Lighthouse 2.0. There's another company called Gorilla Grow tents but they're twice as much cost. I keep my house around 70* in the winter and it gets warmer when I use the wood stove. Plus the tent sits over one of my heat exchanges in the house and gets warmth that way as well. Otherwise I only just purchased it last week through my friends garden center. So far I'm loving it!
