Well, I tried to track the temperature throughout the day and night, but the wind kept knocking over or breaking apart my greenhouse... I'll have to find a way to keep it together.

Hi Everyone. I finally decided to sign up and contribute. I've been gardening for many years, and always grew peppers, but have recently shifted to focusing on them. Most of my outdoor garden space will be dedicated to peppers this year. I also have an indoor hydroponics setup that I have...
