Hey
Is there a temp that the soil/air should be about when the plants are on there first, second, and third true leaf? I know what the requirements for a good seed start but is it ok to have the temp lower when they are in biger pots and more of a plant?

thanks,
spencer

Topsfield, Ma.

I think you want to be in the patch by the time the plant has it's first true leaf if it's possible. Roots are breaking through 3" peat pots at this time. My goal is to be in the ground with heating cables and a heater and a hoop house when the cots are fully developed this season!
We'll see what really happens soon...LOL
