air temp outside right now is 39 degrees and windy. inside the greenhouses right now at 11 am is 73 degrees with cloudy conditions and burst of sunshine sporadically. i left the tomato sprouts in the dome all day yesterday while cloudy getting them use to true sun light and brought them inside last night. today i will transplant into 5" peat pots but waited until now so as not to over due with some bright sunshine popping out and hitting them too hard with bright sunshine so soon. once they are transplanted, they have to go into the dome due to 7 flats of 8 plants and that is too many for my lighting system in the basement. tomorrow will be cloudy all day and this will help them deal with the transplant shock better also. soil temps in the greenhouses are 58 degrees at 6" below the surface. soil temps outside the patch are 48 degrees at 6" below surface. i should pick up that 7 more degrees and reach that 65 degree soil temp mark at minus 6" that i am targeting for on transplant day about 4-27. air temps predicted for then are going to be in the 70s which means i can leave the vents wide open all day while at work and might have to actually mist them if needed. ordering some tubing today from dripworks so i will be prepared to mist if needed.
