Mabey seasick from being in the boat so long?

To much water will do it at that much rain. uv will still get to them through the clouds. I would say the water. But You have them in the ARK! They will do good. God is just getting the sissy out of them for You. They look good for the swim meet they had.

They were covered with a tarp no uv

Good looking seedlings grg , you think they have become a bit yellow.
I'd say its malnutrition , the nutrition you have in them cups right now is probably not enough for some of them as of now.
Noticed the same with mine when hardening them off some time ago , think I read that somebody here recommended epsomsalt to make them recover from that malnutrition. ( goto get that verified )
Or replant to bigger cups ( with more nutrients in it ofcourse)

 

[Mad Oshea]

Then revers what I said. That info helped. IT WAS NO LIGHT LOL. And water. very little from the rain. They will kick like a mule when You get them in! Look great to Me.

Hope to get some in the ground next weekend even if I have to do it with a miners light

 

[Mad Oshea]

I'll send You 40 or so AAA bateries.

I need to ask a question I finally got to the house it is sunny out the plants have been out in sun for over a week can I go ahead and get some in the ground now or wait till later this week when it is cloudy out?

So long as you add a cup of water after each transplant, they should do fine in the sun.

If the leaves have turned darker green since being outdoors you are good. I put a pint of half strength miracle grow on each plant as they are planted.

50 down 350 to go, got the harrow velvet, ancient, mcy, and gold star in

 

[grgfinney]

I added 1 16oz cup of Fast2Grow to each plant

They look great Greg. Lets get going tho. I planted 125 of BB plants I got today. 25 to go. Tractor ran out of fuel.
Took less than two hrs.

Going to get my 13 yo nephew back over this weekend we'll get em all in there

 

[Brown Thumb]

Greg, If you can, time how long it takes you to put 25 plants in normally,
I want to see how much faster it is with a stand and plant, if it even is.
Thanks, Tom

Not even close got to dig a hole and put 2 scoops of rabbit or alpaca poo mix it up then plant then put the mulch around it then a cup of f2g then move to the next.not a speed thing for sure I am hoping the snail won't want to climb on the sharp pine needles and wood chips

Using a small spade to do the transplants, it takes me about 30 to 45 seconds per plant. The downside is that it's all done in a squatting or kneeling position. Yesterday, after a long day of garden work, my left leg would go numb when I stood up straight. I suppose that's from swelling around the lumbar nerve roots, as well as from a crummy back. It's all back to "normal" today.

im jealous, your plants look damn good, compared, to my little green dot's in thier start trays...

i'll be a real truck driver today.. making me some side money. pulling a 53 footer.. loaded with produce. my friend who owns his own truck, delivers for a farmer in this area, and on sat. i give him a break, and make 2 loads, giving me $200.00 in the pocket. im waiting on the call right now. which could come at anytime.

what makes it so funny. is this truck will go 80+ it's orange and i pull a orange trailer.. it looks like im driving a SCHNIEDER truck..... till i blow past you so fast you got to readjust your mirror's.

last weekend as we got on the interstate. i told my daughter '' you see them trucks and cars in front of us...... soon they will be behind us..''

she believed me as we started, passing them one at a time..

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Using a small spade to do the transplants, it takes me about 30 to 45 seconds per plant.

I lied. Being curious if my estimate was correct, I timed transplanting 8 plants yesterday. It took 13 minutes. So...a bit over a minute and a half per plant.
