Week 2, day 10 of veg
The Kir Royale's dried out after just 2 and a half days. They were all starting to droop, and it was time time to transplant. I added kelp, rhizo and micro/enzyme to the water that I mixed up in preparation. I cleaned 8 x 4.5 litre pots and saucers. These pictures were taken about 20 hours later when they got over being re-homed but I assure you, they were very upset yesterday

I think they really needed this transplant.

I poured the new soil into a tub and broke it all up, then scooped out 10 pots worth of soil into a new container. Then I mixed in 1 tablespoon of top dress & 1 teaspoon mineral composite per pot, then mixed it up thoroughly. Then I transplanted, and I watered. Their roots were bright white. But I accidentally clipped the very tip of a leaf off after lifting a pot when the leaf was under my thumb, and I am very upset about it.

As you can see, whilst transplanting them they got a little messy. They didn't want to come out of their pots, and coaxing them out caused some dirt to come loose and land all over the plant. I didn't realise this until I just checked the pictures. I am going to spray my plants with a natural insecticidal soap to get the dirt off them as an IPM treatment for the plants as a preventative, but I wont do this for another few days. Its just dirt so it can wait.

You can see the dirt from flipping them upside down much better in this picture, look at under the top leaves, I am such a grub. I am usually so clean, but I was so tired I didn't even check before I left the room. I promise Ill clean this in a day or so, again, I just don't want to spray them so soon after they have been watered to saturation. I might even get a fan, and see if I can hold it in a certain way to blow all the dirt off?

Whilst they were all temporarily out of the veg tent I gave the tent a clean as is tradition.
