It has been 14 days since uppotting into Gaia soil. The plants are doing well and I should see them start to veg vigorously over the next week.
Brix levels are 12.5-13.5, so not great but at least healthy. The calcium line indicated that calcium was adequate, but barely, so they will get a big dose of EWC and some mulch, which I didn't want to apply yet, but it's needed now, so they get it now.
They also get their 1st topdressing. The instructions say 3 tbsp per gallon monthly, but thats 21 tbsp, or 1 and 1/3 cups. So I will divvy it up weekly. 5 tbsp/week.
I will also brew a microbe tea consisting of RO water, molasses, kelp, and EWC. I will bubble the molasses and kelp for 24 hours, then dump in the EWC for another 18-24 hours.
Boosting microbes should help raise brix levels. EWC also brings calcium.
I have family visiting, so none of this will start until tomorrow, when I will also strap the gals into their final resting places.
That will be a challenge with 3 very different shaped plants, but I will figure something out to best share the light.
