success.....all 56 transplanted sprouts getting some true sun and will now have the nutrients in the soil also to help green them up and get them on their way. i have been using very light doses of soilless hydroponic solution for nutrients for the past 10 days as the sprouts developed their first true leaves. 80 degrees inside the dome right now at 3 pm with the door open and space heaters set at 80 degrees. when then sun gets brighter as the clouds part, the space heaters turn off, and when the clouds come out and the cool wind is still blowing, then the space heaters get it back up to 80. 4 space heaters running in the greenhouses and one in the basement germination room that will get kicked on when its pumpkin seed go time to keep the room temps at 87 along with the propagation mat set at 87. Com Ed loves the shaz. lol. the dome will be zipped up tight tonight as it will get down to 35 degrees outside, but will still be around 58 inside the dome. time to get out the high low thermometers and start monitoring high temps during the day and low temps at night so i will be ready for pumpkins when they get transplanted. i will start the 1605, 1725 harp, and 1161 along with five 1493 shenoha seeds and five 1209 shenoha seeds on 4-20. the best 1493s and 1209s will be backups and the others will be offered to other growers or get the whack.
