took the greenhouses down yesterday after the straight line bow echo storms with hail went through. then put up the silt fences. the plants had a nice breeze last night to get wind acclimated before todays gusty 30 mph hot winds. the misting system is being used for 5 minutes every half hour since 9 am since these leaves have never seen true sun except last night after 4 pm. i also threw up shade cloth over the plants high enough to allow better wind circulation and to avoid the misters from hitting them and then raining straight down without good coverage. 3 mister heads above each plant gives a nice coating on and around the plants to cool the silt fences and surrounding soil besides the plants. this will be the set up for the next 2 days. then i will ween the plants off the shade cloth, but will need the shade cloth again next friday and saturday as 95 degree temps will be back and i do not want to fry any tips or small females in the tips as some of those may be the first chance pollinations on the 1725 and 1209 plants. 1725 main is 8.5', 1209 is 7.5' and the 1493 is a little over 6'.
