On a side note, how long does it take for a seedling(tomato or pepper) to start growing after transplant? I've got a few tomatoes in 20gal storage tubs that don't seem to be growing but appear healthy. I planted them about 10 days ago. Same with a few mini bells I have in buckets. They just seem to be stagnant. I did buy a cherokee carbon plant last weekend at lowes and it's already dead. Like withered and dead overnight. I've cared for it and planted it the same as the others so I'm going to return it and get one from somewhere else.

What are they potted in, what fertilizers and amendments did you add and how much?
I don't use neem at all, it just causes leaf burn and you should never spray the blossoms. Also never spray in the heat of the day, only early am and late afternoon, this will prevent leaf burn.
