pumpkin seeds are soaking and pre heated 5" pots full of seed starter mix are waiting in the humidity domes with themostat sensor placed at seed level set for 87. 3 more hours for total of 5 hours soak time and the seeds will get a light dusting of captan and planted in pots. temps will be monitored all weekend with a calibrated glass thermometer I use for work. I will tweak set up to add more heat or less as the next 2 critical of mother hen work is in order. since it is too chilly in solarium for tomatoes now that pumpkins are top priority in grow room downstairs, and I also do not want to keep opening and closing greenhouses with heaters running...I decided to hang an extra high pressure sodium grow light from the kitchen ceiling fan with a side fan blowing on them. let the madness begin!!!!
