Night Time Temperature Readings

At night due to the longer exposure time, it is a little easier to capture the numbers on the thermostats so this shows…

“Jump Start” = Soil Temperature of 71.4F (21.9C)

“Hydrofarm” = Air Temperature of 73.4F (23C)

These are right around the target levels so all is good here.

22C (71.6F) Night time temperature seems to offer the highest yields in this cucumber study
