Plants starting to grow faster every day. We have had no sun for the last week or so, these plants have not had the opportunity to see natural sunlight yet. One day I could have put them out I would not have been home from work till after 11:00 pm so the timing did not work. This will slow them down a bit when they get transplanted next week as I will have to use a bit of shape cloth for the first few days to harden them off. After the lights are turned off at night the area the plants are in gets down to 55 degrees so they are hardened for some cool temp. Inside my greenhouses the temp rarely ever gets below 55 or so. For the first time ever I noticed aphids on the plants so I had to apply a light spray of Merit, the aphids had to have been on a tomato or house plant that "hatched" under the 78 degree grow lights. Watered plants with Root, Seaweed and Humic / Fulvic Acid today.
