LanTerra Update >....Searching for this today...anybody got some to spare? Used all mine up this morning!!!!

1236* is now well past first true leaf stage...Time to get growing...

1236* is in this morning...soil temp was 81*F @ 6" deep used moving blankets from
U-Haul to keep in heat...They allow the soil to stay warm but also breath a bit more than Styrofoam insulation... Sealed her in hoop house with Tuck tape on the seams...Vent opener is working fine....

Infrared gun works like a charm...was a great investment...Thanks to Chris for the idea....Bryan's idea to cover the surface works great....Heating cable is laid in a stratified 3' circle around the plant from 12" deep to just below the surface.

I gave her everything but the kitchen sink...rain watered in 2 gallons with handful of RTI Myco, 1/4 teaspoon Azos, 1/4 teaspoon Actinovate, 1/8 strength 5-15-5 with IBA, 1/8 strength Phortress, 1oz Molasses and some very hard to find unobtainium too...

I even used all my magic incantations. "Grow Squash Grow"
