My nematodes came yesterday but earthboxes were too to wet to give them water.. These boxes hold moisture forever barely water at all since planting.. Made a gallon for when I put the BTI and spinosad on and barely used a liter of that for all three that’s all I’ve water since planting.. when I planted beans they only got about a liter each if that.. Girls are looking great but doubt the boxes will dry tonight so I can apply the todes… Hopefully by Saturday Sunday I’ll be able to :goodluck: I’ll put up pics later:pop:
 
Day 8
This post is from LS but any input from the folks in here is appreciated

Ok so I read them got it pretty simple now if the pots are still pretty moist on the surface should I still water the soil first? but I must also mention they are day 8 almost to the start of week 3 two more days according to my calendar which is they're first top dressing and that has me thinking I should wait and apply them then or apply now and hold of on the top dress for a couple days doing mid to end of week 3 :shrug: any and all input is greatly appreciated :d5::thanks:

Day 8
Ok so i think we got a plan @Fermented_Fruitz suggested removing the covers and applying the todes when I top dress which will be Sunday I think :doh: :lol: Also give them couple days to dry out just a tad cause they are a touch over watered... When I top dress I will be adding composts a along with dry feed (EWC, lobster compost, cow manure composts) amounts to be determined i normally do 1/2 cup EWC, 1/4 plant food for a 5-10 gallon pot.. the rest is new :eek1::stir:

I switched them to 18/6 2 days ago and bumped the ppfd up a bit getting 360+ ppfd 23-25 dli at the pots running 70-80% (261watts) @ 50" from pots.. That's my max height i am just going to leave it there and adjust dimmer as needed

I dont put the shower caps (covers) on the Jrs until i top dress around day 21 and start filling the rez. So I think this is a good plan.
 
I think @Fermented_Fruitz is correct. You don't have to mix the nema's with water. It's just to make sure you have a good distribution.
So if you mix the nematode powder with your topdressing well and then divide this over the soil, you probably will get the same result.
