Ok watered the plants today.Were in a holding pattern soil is 48 degrees in patch.no cables installed.I think mother nature will do the job this season.I may not use soil cables this year.I could change my mind in 1 week if the weather turns cold.

I used 5 gallons of water this am.Thats 21 oz per plant.These pro mix peat based mixes hold a lot of water/Must be carefull not to get them soaked.I watered the outside of bag,this allows the water to soak towards the center.This will be better to draw the roots out to the water.I dont water the center at the seedling.This will shut them down for a period of time.I did pre moisten the soil prior to filing the bags.So there is mositure down low in bag(lightly).You wouldnt want to dump a 1/2 gallon of water in these bags as it would be to wet.If plants wrinkle up & turn yellow there to wet.If so get a fan running in room on high about 10 to 15 feet from plants to dry them out.Fans are good!This is the kind of detail I will put in this seasons 2015 Member only videos.SHHH!Keep it a secret but go tell a friend There is still time to join.
