            | bearjumper | Anamosa iowa | i started growing in a plastic hoop house with open ends and cool them off with overhead misters, what is a good temp to shoot for? | 6/28/2019 1:19:05 PM | 
		
            | big moon | Bethlehem CT | I like day temps around 90 and warm night temps in the  70's for peak growth.  I wouldn't want temps above 95 if I can control it.  Last year I found that watermelons will grow well with out a ton of heat.  80-85 degrees is fine as long as the night temps aren't in the 50's.    | 6/29/2019 10:12:46 PM | 
		
            | jlindley | NE Arkansas | All research I've read says 91.6° F and 100% sunlight is optimal for watermelons. | 7/1/2019 11:05:43 AM |
