Ok... first pic... nice thumb :lol:

Yes, you've attracted a few munchy beasties, and if it doesn't get out of hand, your plants will grow right through it. I think your weed looks nice and sturdy, and not stretched at all. They will explode with growth pretty soon since I think they have already built a good foundation, which is important later on.

That second to the last pic was out of focus but I think I saw some aphids.... you can either just rub them off gently with your thumb (back to that thumb!) and then squish hard after you let go of the leaf, or you can buy some organic insecticide spray. :peace:

I'll have to take your word on that :lol:

Aphids are quite common and not nearly a devastating pest as leaf miners are. If you get them under control early that is. Just rub them off gently....

ya i think your right. the soapy water should help i dont know my ph. how can i check it

about the ph you go to your local nursery or wal-mart and buy a ph testing kit. as well as some ph down solution and you want to have you ph levels around 5.8-6.5is were i keep mine at. It prevents nutrient lockup so your plants get nutrients they need insteed of rejecting them. Goodluck bud:leaf:

Irish, if you wish to check your PH, test the water which runs out of the bottom of the pot after you give it a big drink. By the looks of your grow, there is no need. I have never had a problem with PH with an outdoor grow, so I think, no worries there. Just feed them neutral water and I'm sure it will be fine.

Only transplant when you can see roots at the very bottom of the pot. Most folks transplant too early. Make sure the entire amount of soil comes out with the plant. Anything else is a less than perfect operation.
