Re: poor start
My brother gave me the tip about warm water.
He started a couple plants late and still got a 600lb one
using warm water every day. The plants went crazy to
about 40ft in diameter vine spread. Healthiest I ever saw.
80-90 degrees F seems best. I wish I had time and money
to put in underground solar heating coils.
