Re: REB: fall cycle vs other - climate data

Think that would be long enough with all the high temperatures in between?
I think that it would take longer than just 4 weeks after the trigger, with summer heat between July 17-27th and Aug 22. 

?
Main bloom is over by early May - plants should have enough time to mature before the end of June. Weren't you guessing 6 weeks? Early bloomers have time to mature enough to repeat bloom in late May, if it's cool and wet enough.

<That would have been too early to account for bloom on Aug 22. Likely plants 
not mature enough at that time to be triggered by that cool spell.
According to Knoxville weatehr in 2006, you also had the 6 days of temp inb 
range 26-21 C on July 17-27th. This could could count for Summer rebloom
trigger.

<Chuck, re: 22 Aug 2006 bloom of STAR GATE.

Using the weather underground historic data for Knoxville TN, ~50 miles
north of here, there was a front that came thru our area, presumably
came thru this far south, last week of June, first few days of July,
that dropped nighttime low temperature into the mid-60s F.>
