Howdy y'all. We're on day 1 of week 3 of Veg. Just got the seedlings transplanted into larger containers before their final transplant in a couple weeks time. All the seedlings we're rolling fine and I pulled select ones that looked most appealing and set them in the containers. Will update in the next couple weeks.
I would protect soil around plants not to grow grass, it would increase root potencial and depending on what you use to cover, will make them stronger! Great grow!!
