Ok, I am experimenting with that one plant. I just mixed a very small amount of ILGM Veg fertilizer in one liter of water, and gave the one plant about 1/2 of it.
Gremlin-X came with 390 or 401, they wheeled over on themselves, wheelie bars were not an option offered by AMC, neither were roll bars! Mine has 12 bolt 411 posi, 4 speed Borg Warner with 11" clutch, it’s a slingshot off the line!
However, today there’s something faster, much faster, it’s a 71 Datsun, electric powered by lithium ion, it’s called the White Zombie! The sound it produces sounds like something you’d buy at home depot in the cordless power tool section! They have electric powered gliders and ultralights too! I just bought a battery powered leave blower that I use like broom! I’m sold on cordless, and I’m a tough customer!
Sorry if it’s a little (allot) off topic, here’s a link to the White Zombie gas vs. electric; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RESC54vHr40

The greenhouse is super cute!! I have always wanted one, I am set to watching, good luck!!
You are correct, it was the 390. Ugly car, skinny tires, but man was it quick
Thank you, probably the most expensive small greenhouse around, after being rebuilt nearly from the ground up. This is what the wife wanted, it was a kit from a Canadian company, all Canadian Cedar. I should have known better because cedar and the humid Southeast US do not get along. Nothing these days gets built with it around here, except for maybe accent and decorations. It literally rotted from the inside out. It was all beautiful Cedar and you will see shortly what survived. Ants had a hand in it as well. We considered tearing it all down, but had too much money tied up in the concrete foundation and such. So we hired this fantastic three man crew, and I will let the pictures speak for themselves. The red siding is Hardy board, leftover from when we redid the house

These guys rebuilt the one side you see here, then tore down and rebuilt the other side. The doors somehow survived, as well as the main been and arches inside. As I said, damn expensive in the end

Very nice, I am somewhat of a carpenter/handyman myself so I can appreciate the hard work that went into it.

These guys were great, including an older gentleman who is a mater carpenter. he was the one who told he could rebuild it after poking at the wood for an hour or so

Do you mind explaining the microbial count?

Yes, many, if not all, quality bagged top soils, are sterilized, water promotes microbial activity and from there they multiply. Nutrients like sulfur are broken down in the digestive track and released as a usable plant food (micro poo). It’s good to have a microbial count that breaks down enough nutrients to feed the plant before nutrient amendments are determined and added.
Sterilized soil is cold with locked up nutrients that only microbes can break down.

Fantastic, so watering well a few days before is the ticket. Thanks

Pictures taken today. First pic is the one that was looking the worst and I fertilized and watered yesterday. The first set of bottom leaves was done for, so I cut them off. The other two photos and the WW Auto were thoroughly watered today, no nutes. Underneath that yellow leaf, first photo, it is growing new leaves, so that is hopeful. The Auto is showing some yellow discoloration in the bottom leaves two days after transplanting. It looks ok though, trying to outgrow the photos

Out of likes but looking good!!
Greenhouse is beautiful! I mean really. Im jealous.
What are your plans for ventilation?
The yellowing makes me nervous, lol. Today my new Apera EC-60 tds meter arrived .Played with it, should have been calibrated from factory according to manual. I tested plain water PH corrected at 387ppm, and out of the plant at 187ppm. I need to read the cheat sheet from @MidwestGuy to see what it means.
Thank you, right now I have a heavy duty fan on the ground by the door. Today it was 80F here, early spring, but will be in the 60’s in a few days. The greenhouse was hitting 90F. I was thinking of putting them outside, specially the photos. I can set up drip system or manual. We had trips planned to Grand Cayman this month and Dominican Republic in June, but Coronavirus took care of them, so I will be here. Summertime temps range from the mid 80’s to mid 90’s in a hot July. What are your thoughts?
Actually the greenhouse was closer to 95F but humidity is low right now, so it didn’t feel bad inside. Summer will be different. I may need another fan in the back just to suck hot air out
One picture you can see the top of the fan near the bottom of picture. It can really blow some air. I am running it on low, and it has three speeds
