Overnight temperature

They're mainly a mixture of different veg John which I don't know much about, with the exception of salad plants like cucumbers, tomatoes etc. I'm sure we can work out what's best and err on the side of caution.

 

5c is quite warm for many plants. My greenhouse temperature alarms have two settings 41f/5c or 13c/55f for the lowest settings.

They didn't calibrate these things with those parameters for no good reason..........

 

That's an interesting thought Lori, but I can't risk losing someone's plants by giving them risky information. I think I'll stick with the 10C.

 

Yes, for tomatoes, I keep the alarm on the high side. And that is the minimum so when the 110 decibel siren sets off I leg it dowstairs to check the heater, pronto.... maybe I should stock nitro pills....

 

Yes, I totaĺly understand being cautious about advice. Bought some pansy seeds as mine didn't sprout... all is forgiven and forgotten er okay forgiven..

We can't always be expected to qualify every suggestion... heavens, we'd sound like pharmaceutical firm's disclaimers!

It is all fun. No one died because a seedling died.

 

Sorry all, I've found out it isn't veg being grown but flowers but the temperature issue would be the same for most anyway.
