Ahhh, I see. Very interesting. We all work with such different conditions. Depending on where we are it takes quite different approaches to reach similar goals. Here I have wild humidity swings. It will get up to 73% at night and by mid afternoon it can be 13%. I'm probably assumed you have high humidity. I would have guessed New York would have high humidity, spring and summer.

I'm sure it takes my plants longer to dry out than yours. Thanks for pointing that out, Patti. Good growing!
