The 90 degree myth

Wi-sunflower · July 17, 2011

I would say it's the nite temp as well.

I have about 30 plants in 3 gal pots in the greenhouse. The Pink Tumblers set fruit super well even tho day temps were well above 90* any time the sun was out. The Black Cherries haven't done nearly as well tho.

These days the day temps inside the end opened and 1 side opened GH is well over 100 with high humidity especially after watering. BUT our nites do generally drop below 70*.

This week we will be higher tho as part of the heat bubble. I expect there will be a drop off of new fruit for a while.
