I have decided to wait until tuesday evening to transplant sprouts into greenhouses. 2 days will not hurt and I will be much safer with temps on tuesday forecasted for 80. this way I will not risk toasting them in hot greenhouses while working. I will acclimate them in shade during work hours monday and tuesday while at work and give them doses of full sun after 4 pm today and tomorrow a.m. and p.m. doses of full sun and in shade in middle of day. today inside the greenhouses I used my stirrup hoe and rake and carefully incorporated in the top 6 inches without hitting soil cables some gypsum, azomite, and dr. earth organic 7 all purpose 4-4-4 organic fertilizer containing fish bone meal, cottonseed meal, alfalfa meal, feather meal, mined potassium sulfate, kelp meal, and seaweed extract along with pro-biotic endo and ecto myc. at transplant I will incorporate into the base and spoils of planting holes diatamaceous earth, granular systemic merit and bonide insecticide granular called "eight". there are a few corn seed maggot flies hatched and flying in greenhouses but not enough to know the first round isn't done hatching. 3 hot sunny days in greenhouses before tuesday transplant should help them hatch and the the insecticides above and plant collers made of cut off tops of 12" pots will hopefully do the trick.
