Update on seedlings! Yes, they have grown noticeably since yesterday! Isn't that awesome??On the left is that tall leggy cosmos (candy stripe). He's gotten even taller!
It's absolutely amazing to see the amount of growth that can occur in less than 24h. I'm a little concerned about lighting, though; the leggy cosmos and calendula have gotten even leggier.
If this continues, I will remove all the leggy plants, and put them in individual Jiffy Pots. ... Though I don't have a tray set aside for that, yet...
Note: the pale plant colours are due to the floodlight I have temporarily (20min) set on the plants. These lamps are halogen, and I cannot set them on the plants for more than 30min at a time because they are A) hot and B) expensive to run. I've been supplementing my seedlings' light with them occasionally... It's not a good long-term solution, but it'll do in a pinch... I really gotta build that seedling light soon...
Will post instructions on how I build the grow light structure!
