Hey Bill very good question the first to ask honestly the bugs aren’t too bad . It’s been really wet conditions lately so there is plenty of thick juicy things to eat out there there is an increase in mosquitos for 2 minutes but I haven’t noticed any damage to the foliage or pests on top or under the leaves

Awesome.
Lights attract a different type of insect.
I know my green house lights attracted every bug in a mile radius
It was a beacon like the bat signal.
Nice work.

Hey Grower2020, I'm also using night interruption in my veg greenhouse here in Hawaii. I use a bunch of daylight spectrum LED bulbs, 13w. They are on a timer, going on at midnight, 2am, and 4am, for a few minutes each time. It's either 3 or 5 minutes, I forget. Works like a charm. I do see some flowering in the shaded, lower branches, but it's no biggie.

Suffering heat stress with temps at 104f lately so I added some mulch to the top of the pots to help regulate the soil a bit

 

[Grower2020]

This plant is not phased by the heat it seems . The rest are struggling a little and slowing growth quite a bit

Only minus 10c here today not bad.
But 104f that's high my friend
How are they doing during the noon hour at peak sunlight?
Because they look great now.

they just not praying like they should be and are a little droopy . Slow growth and leaves started to slightly yellow from slow nutrient uptake which I think is caused from the soil getting too hot

I wrapped wet towels around the outside of my pots during the worst of it.
That helped.
Also a semi shaded canopy during high noon helps aswell.
I always made sure to water just before it got really hot.
I ran Coco @Bill284 Method, drain to waste every day.
Works in soil too though.

If only I could have such easy access to these plants to shade them with 40% cloth during midday . Unfortunately these plants are in the middle of nowhere . Hoping the mulch helps a little as it’s all I can really manage to help them . Do you think I could just leave 40% over them all the time ? Until flower when temps have settled down a bit ? Or too much loss of light ? I did a light test under 40 % and the umols reduced from 1800 down to 750 . Quite a substantial drop in light

If it's peak sun for those weeks it would help. Imo.
I'd use something like a mesh or something that flaps a bit to get some movement.
Instead of a cloth blanket type product.
While it's that hot it'll help
That's over 40c in the sun cooking.
