Hello all...I've got a problem (perhaps). In a 4'x4' ebb & flow tub I am growing squash, zucchini and peppers. They are under a 1000w hps light w/ temps in the mid 80's while lights are on and high 70's when the lights are off. The plants have been in this setup for about a month. The plants are growing very well and the peppers are producing very nice cubanelle and anaheims. The squash and zucchini, however, are producing flowers but nearly half of the flowers are dying off before anything happens. Outside I have squash and zucchini growing and it looks the same, except the flowers are producing veggies. Any ideas?

make sure the flowers are pollinated. lack of flowering nutes and too much heat will do that too.
