Here's a tip for those that buy your transplants.

Watch your seller as soon as they have your plants ready for sale
buy them and transplant into larger pots a 6 to 8 in pot.

When you go to get your plants, take a plant mister with 1 tsp per
qt of dishsoap or baby shampoo. Bring something for a drip pan
or several layers of newspapers to protect your car.
  After buying your plants, spray the plants with the soap solution to the 
point of runnoff before loading your plants in your car. This will kill or
leave behind the greenhouse whitefies.
 
 By transplanting into larger pots, by the time your plant out time
arrives you should have another 4 to 6 inches of growth. 
 Which means you will have pods ripening sooner and more pods in 
the growing season

Feed 1 time with a 10% solution of Miricale Gro Seed starter solution
4-12-4 or Osmocote 8-8-8 or a 5% solution of 5-30-5 (1/8 tsp per
gal)
