The rabbit, well..... I would shoot it but I just like to use my .22
anytime I get a chance. But keep doing what you are doing with the
fertilizer. Since you ammended the soil I am sure your plant will have
plenty of nutrients. You may want to try using more dilute amounts of
fertilizer and use it everyday when watering. and I have a question for
you. what kind of time interval are you using on your misters and how hot
is it where you live right now. I am at 95 degree's in california and just
got my misters totally functional today. I am planing on leaving them on 45
minutes off for 25 all day long
