Well, we are back from heaven to the 100dg. Florida heat. Do any of you know if plants will benefit from more circulation in the form of a outdoor fan? Just thinking if this would help with the humidity. Most likely it would just move around the same air but I thought I would ask and see if anyone has heard anything about this. All the Semps here in Jax are getting by but turning mostly green (most are loosing bright colors they had when I got them). Definitely not the growing time of year for them here. In NC, I could not believe how much the Semps had grown in just 1 month and the colors, wow! They are cool but a little wet in the mountains which must be good for color and growth!

Also, as a last resort I have thought about bringing them inside where it is cool and dry but I have no windows that get light. Going back to my aquarium days, I could use a high intensity grow bulb like a metal halide to get them some artificial light over the hot months.

No matter what, I am going to make this work!

I will keep the updates coming.

Thanks

Andrew
