Yeah what is ideal I have no idea. I have some bark fines on top of the plastic to reduce heat and when I check underneath the plastic it is moist on the surface. I see no issues with the plants. I guess until I see problems I will go with it as is. Sort of have to for this season anyway.

I think I can say that the one Diva plant that I replanted in 3:3:2 mix has recovered.

Thanks Raybo and cole_robbie.

So I am noticing both male and female flowers on the Diva plant. I had read that it is parthenocarpic -- it needs no pollinator to flower and fruit. So I assumed it has only female flowers, Is that incorrect? Do they need to be pollinated? Or have I gotten myself a plant that I think is Diva but in reality is not?
