I tried to find the chart with the influence of temp figured in too, but could not find it. To be honest i just came from thereand the pics look worse than it is. I think they are just hungry.here is a lil blurb about temp :
Climate: Extremes of moisture will accentuate deficiencies. Excess moisture enhances yield potential and leaching of some nutrients. Dry conditions discourage root activity at shallow levels and reduce the breakdown and flow of nutrients to the plant. Cool temperatures reduce uptake of nutrients by slowing breakdown into plant available forms and decreasing root activity. *(e.g. phosphate has been estimated to be 3 times more available at soil temperatures of 21 degrees C versus 13 degrees C, boron deficiencies tend to be greatest under cloudy cool conditions)
Nitrification is a biological process and proceeds rapidly in warm, moist, well-aerated soils. Nitrification slows at soil temperatures below 50 degrees F. Nitrate-N is a negatively charged ion and is not attracted to soil particles or soil organic matter like NH4+-N. Nitrate-N is water soluble and can move below the crop rooting zone under certain conditions.
i am not trying to speak to that plant just to the fact that low temps affect alot outside of GREAT growing conditionsI tried to find the chart with the influence of temp figured in too, but could not find it.

That a wood fired heatervya? With air tubes covered in stone,or bricks?i am installing a rocket mass heater this week will try to put up a thread
That a wood fired heatervya? With air tubes covered in stone,or bricks?
You just dont know how much i love your post some times! Very cool man
Some quick highlights and benefits of rocket stove mass heaters:
- Zero Carbon Footprint
- Exhaust is virtually nothing more then steam and CO2
- Utilizes 80 to 90 percent less wood (fuel)
- Contained heat can last for days
- Average build cost under $50.00
- Projected build time less then 2 days (average handy person)
- Material Lists for building basic Rocket Heaters
Most of these materials should be able to be located either for cheap from local scrapyards, recyclers, or hardward stores.
- Fire Bricks
- Stove pipe or furnace duct work (straight lengths and flex elbows)
- High temperature thermometer
- 30, 50 or 55 Gallon Drum (size depends on size of heater being built)
- Sand, Clay and Perlite
- Straw (for cob) Great article on making and building with cob. Making Cob 101
I have such a fucked tolerance, it doesn't seem to sedate me much, and what does, not for long. That and I am just someone that's always been raised and then the military as well, you do the job and you get it done. Soldier on. hard to break. I have a lot of my dad in me, much as i hate to admit it, I have a very hard time relaxing and unwinding.

Try meditation, find a place void of all distractions and practice on clearing your mind of all the clutter that keeps you going in 10 different directions. It took me a few months to teach my mind to do it but now each day for 10 - 15 min a day I sit on my back patio with the sound of the waterfall in the Koi pond to calm me and clear my mind and it has done wonders for calming my anxiety.
Take care of yourself...
