After fretting about temperatures I finally tried my hand at pot making. Using the standard 1peat-1portland-1perlite recipe. I mixed the dry stuff outside (100 degrees) then brought it inside ( air conditioning 80 degrees) I then added the water. I didn't get my mix real even on the sides of my mold that I did on the outside but the ice cream bucket one came out better. As far as curing goes they set up within 2 days inside, I sprayed them daily. I am hooked, oh the possibilities in store if my hubbies wallet can take...
