| dave | On March 6, 2024 | Transplanted I finally transplanted into the garden 15 of these plants. They are small, but healthy. |
| dave | On February 13, 2024 | Potted up I potted up Elijah's Feb 7th and the HT seedlings into 4" pots, as well as all remaining Mike RP's. The potting soil is coco coir with perlite and vermiculite. I then watered them with seaweed extract. |
