Actually he was talking about blooming/fruit setting. He says the daytime temps aren't of concern to him, that fruit will not set when the night time temps get above 70 degrees and below 50 degrees. Sorry I wasn't more clear. Another thing all three of them said was they strip the lower leaves and plant as deep as they can to promote root growth. Also, both Tim and Dave said they mulched to keep the soil cooler. Dave does grow in the ground in additon to having containers. I don't remember Carl saying anything about mulch so I don't know about him.
The reason most people fail instead of succeed is because they give up what they want most for what they want at the moment.
