  I'm wondering if mine (pictured a few days ago near the top of this page) could handle some weak seasol/powerfeed. I gave mine a weak fees last year about this stage. Just now and again untill they went in my chilli jungle.

Seedling are now on to there 2/3 sets of leaves. When I repotted them I added some dynamic lift to the mix. Would it be to much to hit them with a weak tom feed solution. Hoping to hardem them off this week. Hope the crazy perth weather calms down a little

Yeah the quartine charge is absolutely ridiculous the pricing is just stupid. 56 dollers.I buy alot of stuff from diggers in vic. I try my best to stick to heirloom seeds. They are covering the charge for wa customers for the time being. But will be reviewing it in the future.

Its a nightmare they destroy plant and fruit so quickly. What I normaly do is pick off the fruit they have got to. Bag it and bin it or burn. Cover with a very fine meshing from top to bottom,Weight the bottom down of the netting down. Could also try an eco spray or set a couple of sticky baits...
