This is my 887 (also at 28 days old), not doing so great, the cot leaves are already done (that's the fastest I've seen that happen). This greenhouse opens on the side such that I think all the moisture in this house is being evaporated. So I watered the whole area down and mulched it with grass clippings to try to hold in the moisture. The 1378 is in the other greehouse which has a different ventilation system such that it holds the moisture better so it wasn't mulched. To mulch or not to mulch that is the dilemna - I like to mulch because it reduces weeding and holds moisture - but the downside side (I've been told) is that it promotes disease. Any opinions?
