ok if you go back a few posts you can see we left off little over 24 hours ago, most of the plants have adjusted to the new pots. For people with no space issues you want to start in large pots, however i was packing alot of these in a small space to ease overcrowding. But the reality is the 4x4 tray will only work another week or so. ( i dont like leaves touching this signals the plants to stretch)
I will get the other tray cleared out shortly over the next week. I need to replace some other plants i burnt, (*no more bugs period) Woops..

But back to the journal , i want you to see the difference 24 hours makes, you can see the 4 in the front got transplants still, the plant size seems much smaller, what do you think!

So everyone is in the pot, And for a side project i left 3 in 1 quart pots, we will put them 1 week behind and study the effects on being in a small container.

Now none of these plants have had any food to this point. And if i wait any longer they will likely start to look bad. I plan on putting a couple foods against each other, however for the first feeding i am adding (Imidacloprid) you should really study this stuff, The way it works is unlike anything we treat with right now!

I wanted a safe dosage, i found safe levels @ lowes, I found bulk for on ebay for 70.00 a quart. the product i will test with RIU is this one.

This stops the life cycle before hand. I teamed up with Home - Koppert biological control natural pollination to try and fight off a aphid spidermite colony. The cosmetic damage and pesticides on the plants make them junk grade. Preventing this involves stopping the life cycle. If you read page 1 you see me comment on being doomed from the start. this is because the mites had a week to get out of control. i have not rid myself of these in nearly a year.

However though elimination of all affected plants has given me my veg room CLEAN.

To prevent Aphids gnats and hopefully spidermites i will treat before hand. You Need to study the effect of this pesticide yourself. I found it to be ok. if you treat your dogs with flea meds like advantix you have seen this stuff work!
2 drops on you pet and 1 month of no fleas or ticks. Imidacloprid kills the same way. The plant will uptake Imadicloprid store in plant tissue and everything that bites my plant should Croak. Imadicloprid will block neuropathways causing death by paralysis
[SIZE=+0]if this proves effective these plants have 90 days of BLISS. [/SIZE]

i will go over amounts with the food, i want to point out, future waterings will not diminish products effectiveness.

Without further delay lets get the first feeding, Plants Age 22 days from sprout.
i plan feeding half the tray foxfarm and the other botanicare, however this first feeding and pesticide treatment i will all be foxfarm for ease.
