Very nice morning sun today. Felt compelled to take some pics. I move them daily for a few reasons. Firstly to get some morning sun. I like to think that whatever nasties that was with them throughout the night deserves to be fried with a couple hours of UV rays. My humidity is so high that i started worrying about molds from germination. So this is something i just cant stop doing.
Secondly, I get to feel the weight of each pot to see how light they are from yesterday. But I only feel, never weighed. This helps with watering. I even move them out and line them up according to weight of pots when watering.The physical activity is also welcomed. Moving 6 pots in and out sometimes twice a day (If i feed during evening) and checking/tucking each one gives me a decent warm up imo. The stairs will punish you if you forget stuff. Some days, its all the physical activity i need. My back is actually feeling better than before.
Also, I believe this toughens them up more. In 32 days, I would be lying if I said I never dropped them too hard, squeezed some soil, kicked/ tripped on them etc. So I'd like to think that me and the plants are toughening up together!
Also some updates from yesterday's feed. Better do it now before i forget the details. Fed the girls worm tea but added 3ml/l of Ionic Grow + 1ml/l Fish & Seaweed Extract(2ml/l was added in the beginning of brew) + 1ml/l of CalMag. PH was high at 7..05 but my tap water is 8++ so it makes sense. I read somewhere that good teas should be around PH7 so did not do anything else. When I added these, they foamed even more.
I made the decision of adding nutes to the tea even though many says that mineral salts can kill microbes. This is my issue with this. I'll be using them nutes anyways and it will be in the soil sooner or later. Due to watering timing and grow stage/ conditions, I prefer to do it together, at least for this round. Besides, I've been using organic and inorganic mixed from the start and its been pretty cool. I also always read about ppl saying that natural is best. Aren't both organic and inorganic stuff mixed in nature? This is just my own silly thought process and probably only works for silly old me. But all seems to be good. Tbh, i was expecting a tiny bit of burnt tips (Especially on the PE cos journals i read say they don't like too much N) but nothing so far. Might happen later so keep observing.
All seems normal and growing nicely. A little worried about space now. Gonna let them grow upwards from now. Lights are definitely slightly below 40cm which may be around 18 inches. No light stress. Just lots of growth.
Last 2 pics is WW2. LSTed her just to keep height the same as others. I just want to see what she can do but she is surprising me every day.
