silly weather conditions so far this spring. yesterday it
was 82 degrees with clear blue skies and the temps in the
greenhouses reached into the high 90s while I was at work
getting fried by the sun. the misting system was used to
keep the plants cool. i have realized that one of my green
houses somewhat blocks the other from wind and both of the
plants got a little bit of burn in that one yesterday.
nothing serious, about the same as my 1247 state fair plant
that got toasted when it was first transplanted. it is not
affected at all right now so i am not too concerned.
here is a picture of my 885 shenoha backup to the left and
the 735 pukos to the right. neither of these plants
were affected by the high temps at all. today it
dropped to 48 degrees and it will be going down to
42 degrees tonight. i had a rain day today, so i put the
space heaters back out and have them set in all 4
greenhouses to 80 degrees with the upper vents remaining
open. after a 2 hour period i checked the high-low
thermometers to find temps at 78-82 in the greenhouses.
tonight the greenhouses will be zipped up and the
heaters set at 65 degrees.
