Im havin a cold one right now to try and get my nerves calm, another
nite of no growth, and I am just thinking about what you have said this
time of year and the temps being so low in the evening. I have been a
evening waterer, and if I water(city water) at night, it cools the soil
temp down too much to get much growth, so I have decided that this time
of year , the nite watering has to go.. I must get to bed now so I can
adjust my bodies time clock to start watering in the morning..
