Sorry no cows I Wish, Bobaro. But I have had it with spores in the Dirt and did a lot of reading on miracle Gro problems. I won't use it any more. So I picked up another greenhouse from lowes 179. Bucks. This is the 3rd year for the first one I bought, I can't complain but the cover is starting to deteriorate. I will put the rest of starts out in it this weekend to kill the spores and put a heater in it also.
One other thing I noticed was I started seeds and transplanted them to cups and left the covers off due the mold problems I was having they do not look good.
The last ones I put into 72 cell trays and put the cover on and they look Super?

looks like the soil in the cups is also not as finely graded as that in the 72c trays. May also be a factor.

Looks like a lot of moisture in that cell tray. I did the same as you, starting seeds and then transplanting them, took them over a week to start moving again.

It is all the same Miracle Gro Potting soil. Cover on damp / wet doing Good. Cover off moist/dry on the top yellow looking plants.

Found something I Have never seen happen Before when I was giving Haircuts today.
It is like two leaves joined at the stem and grew together I tried pulling them apart thinking they were stuck together.
Nope I ripped the one. Anyone seen this before ?

Just a four leaf clover of baccy. Nice plants and green houses You got up. The one looks better together. Leave the tops off. You have plenty of moisture there. I am in the dead-sert and 8-18% humid. NO LIDS! They will do fine. Mine are kicking along without them .

Running heaters at night Still gets in the low thirtys.Finally I am Done, It is what it is. I am not transplanting or starting another plant this year unless it goes in the GROUND.I just finished transplanting another 350 for backups or if they do good I might just have some room for them.I got them all in the greenhouses this weekend. I used the cheap bip lots green houses that blew over the first day for the shelving as seen in the pic and screwed it all together with self tappers and wire tied it to the new Lowes greenhouse supports to keep them from falling over and added cross bars on bottom and top for added Saftey. It gets windy around here. I will use the shelfs for starts next year it takes up a lot of less space. The Idea came from GrFinny. Thanks Greg.n

We have a thread for pics of unusual leaf mutations. I had a split izmir leaf last year.

I was going to duct tape them also but Jacob used it all up Wrapping his sisters up with it.
I staked it all to the ground also, I had one fly away a couple years Go.
The self tapping screws kept Jacob busy for a while. At least I let him use the cordless drill and not a nut driver.
