Prints not sticking in colder ambient temperature issue

So I finally got my printer assembled and printed the boat...worked really well.  I then moved it outside to my shed which has an ambient temperature between 50 and 60 degrees F.  Every time I print out there though it works for the first few layers, then it becomes unstuck from the bed and the print becomes a mess.  

I've got a qidi x-one2 with an enclosure that never fails out there, so I'm wondering if I need to enclose my prints to get it to work out there.  I tried raising the bed temp up to 70C but it didn't help any.  Also as a last resort tried the aquanet I use on my glass bed for my other printer but that didn't help either.

Any thoughts?  

Thanks

If I understand correctly, the printer will not operate below 15C, it will generate a MinTemp error. Prusa recommend 20C
