One week - the good and the bad !!

Its been a week already and and all the plants  ( well almost all) are doing pretty well.
New leaves started coming out of almost every plant and thats a good sign of progress. The picture below shows the changes in the leaf size and everything looks  very healthy and  green  as of today

However,  there were a few problems that i have  faced, which i never  came across in the book and only experience can  teach you

  • The 1st three days  it is very important that the jiffy is kept wet and happy or else the plants will look wilted and  dull. these will make you feel tensed that they might not be able to make it. 
  • It is very important that you get your  fertigation  and pest management schedule in hand or else  things will go hay wire. Get all your ferts stcoked up before hand.
  • Termites infested on two beds and  it was very scary as they can spread very fastly. I had to rush and drench the  plants with  pesticide to get rid of that issue. Awaiting results.
