Hi - Any plan to accelerate the growth of the newbies?
I, myself would give a plant a day or two to familiarize with the patch, butt even then, the watering-in of it would be 'flavored' and every 3 days or so after that. Speaking from inexperience, lol...with growing a 1K-pounder+, that is. I don't think I've seen a watering jug yet this year including on BP.c but my own, and that is yet-untouched in '26. I cannot yet fertilize the seedlings of which I have about 40 now, as they would grow me right outta the house! From the basement! Hmmm, a test one *down there* might be self-advisable, for a personal example... Thanks for the talk! eric g

Pal, normally my problem is the seedlings grow too fast and get leggy but w/ some tips I got here I have that corrected. The 785's are growing so slow, they still have the tips of the cots in the soil. Several of my 885's that I started six days after the 735 Schmit seeds are all ready catching up to them.
