just finished transplanting NB6 & NB9 into bigger bots. Despite being 10 days older, NB6 was a bit behind in vertical growth and foliage & root development. Both had reached the bottom of their pots but NB9s root system was significantly more dense, but NB6 may catch up because I expect NB9 to have some significant transplant shock (I damaged a large area of her lower root mass due to mishandling). I gave each of them a generous watering with molasses mix and hope they handle the xplant well.
Before transplanting, I mixed 1 cup of blood meal and 2 crushed eggshells into the soil in each of the larger pots. I'm going to start saving eggshells and adding them to the soil for calcium.
I have a bit more space than I thought with my current setup, I hadn't even realized the cupboard I've got them in had height-adjustable shelves, and thought that I would need to go out and spend some money if NB9 grew into the light but luckily I got myself an extra 6" of vertical space by putting the shelf to the lowest position. I'm still going to have to get a stealthy setup with more room soon so any low-cost suggestions would be appreciated. I do have a nifty little cabinet that could work with some LSTing but I'm far from a handy man and I'd probably need to cut some holes and install some fans for ventilation.
