yesterday it was 80 degrees when the weather man said it was
only supposed to reach the lower 70s. if i knew we were
going to get that warm of temps, i would have waited one more day to transplant the little ones into the patch.
the temperature in the greenhouse with all vents open
reached the lower 90s by the time i got home from work.
that was too hot for freshly transplanted sprouts that
broke ground only 4 days prior. they still looked fine
yesterday, just a little droopy and i misted them by hand
and they perked right up. this morning i see that the bottom
of the first true leaf of the 1247 got just a tad fried.
nothing serious, just a little crispified along the bottom
edge of both sides of the leaf. the top of the leaf looks
fine, and the second true leaf if forming and shows no sign
of trouble. i would be worried if the second true leaf
got burnt because it is basically the beginning of the
main. but all in all for how hot it got on their first day
in the ground, it wasn't too bad. the 818 andrews shows
no signs of heat or sun damage, and might prove to be a
better heat resistant plant. yet, if all goes well from here
on out, the proven 1247 will most likely be the keeper.
both plants were acclimated to the sun in my solarium for
7 hours for 2 days prior to transplant, so i think it
was a combination of the heat and the full day of sun that
affected the 1247's first true leaf. i have seen worse
transplant shock after that first full day of sun to past
plants that were not affected in the long run whatsoever.
but it still pisses me off that #1, i didn't have my misting
system set up for the babies or #2, that i should have
waited one more day to transplant, and #3 that all the damn
weather people were wrong by 8 to 10 degrees for their
forecasted high temps. but that is all part of the game.
live and learn. today it is 43 degrees out, but 75 in
greenhouse.
