LUI Day 3

LUI DAY 3

humidity domes were taken off for good. . . soil surface was “cultivated” gently with a finger.. . seedlings were rotated inside their flats. . .

when using a good organic soil it’s very common for algae to grow on the soil surface. sometimes even the white perlite will turn greenish in color due to algae growth. . . the algae doesn’t really hurt anything but they can compete for nutrients so we usually just smooth the surface of our soil mix gently with a finger. . . often times a peat based mix will shrink and pull away from planter sides. . . roots exposed to dry air in the “side cracks” can die back so when cultivating the soil surface we are always careful to “fill in” by pushing some extra soil along the edges of our lil plastic planters. . . the soil surface was still damp from the original soaking so there is still no need to consider watering for several days. . . cultivating the soil surface helps to level and even it and will contribute to a more even drying of the soil as well. . .

even with the strong light we are using (35+ watts per sq foot) the seedlings on the outer edges lean slightly towards the light. . . so to encourage straight growth we also rotated the seedlings. . . moving the lil babes from the edges into the center. . . the seedlings themselves show little change. . . perhaps increasing slightly in size. . .

the slightest signs of a 2nd pair of leaves show . . . so we’d expect to see those showing up enough for pictures tomorrow.
