Weekly Tip: June week 1 - Keep Your Outdoor Plants Cozy at Night
June is the month to plant outdoors in all but the coldest climate, such as alpine. Growers in warm climates should plant now for a full harvest. If nighttime temps dip below 50 F/10 C, protect your tender seedlings and transplants by covering them with a remay cloth or milk cartons. Pay attention to your local TV and Newspaper for weather forecasts. Plants in alpine climates will need to be under plastic or glass until temperatures warm above 50F lows. When moving plants from indoors to outdoors, make sure to “harden them off”. For a week to 10 days, set clones/plants outside to expose them to outdoor elements. Increase outdoor time by one hour per day. Bring plants in at night.
p.s. This should be close to your last fertilizations for your greenhouse flowering cycle.
