Bob,
What are you using to get high K to your plants?

For the life of me I cannot imagine why it would need 14 degrees Celcius for a minimum. It will do fine with much less. The plants in the bloodline are grown around here close to 0C. Minimum of 6C though should be fine, that would be 43F or so.

I think perhaps you misunderstood. It has to be a min cool of 14C downward for the cool weather types. It can be below that for sure down to Zero C in fact ..It just won't do well if the low temp is above that..

Sorry I didn't realise you meant a 'maximum minimum'.....my apologies.
