Re: Root Bound Seedlings - Advice Needed
Kevin,
If you have cloches, u should be okay... I transplanted to my cloches today
as I also saw roots starting out the bottom of my pots.. It is going to be 55 -
60 at night for next 4 nights here, and day time temps of 75-80, meaning cloche
internally will stay around 50 at night, and rise to 85 or so at most during
the day.. It is much like taking care of a child at this stage, but withthe
right care and nurturing, the little darling can survive.. Just watch the water
after the transplant,,, soil wil dry up fast on hot days inside cloches.. and u
dont want heat stress at this early age.. so keep it watered properly..
