Miracle Harvest Chronicles

Think that last one isn't gonna pull through, it's got small leaves, but them cotyledons aren't greening up or trying to open up. I'll let it keep trying for 2 more days but if I see nothing from it gonna let it go lol.
 
I'm cheering it on! :cheer:

These babies just popped not so long ago, they were pretty small thos morning they respond to light so quick. I don't think they're getting enough in that windows seal, focusing too much energy on growing up instead of new leaves
 
Might want to move the light overhead! :laugh:

To cold to be outside still? At least rotate them mid-day so their backs don't ache.
 
They're everywhere, and the other seedlings were doing perfect in the window not sure with is happening with these seedlings lol

I've been rotating every hour or so they keep bending back to the damn light
 
Ring the tray in diatomaceous earth. That will protect them.

I made some of these from some scrap wood. They work really well. I just went out every morning, took the lids off, and knocked the earwigs out to their doom. 🥾

What are those metal beams? They're attracted to metal like magnets and moisture I've noticed. They typically don't attack the plants that often and when they do it's not the whole plant just munches on my leaves until they're satisfied.

Those are pieces of wood with channels cut along the length of them. After you put a thin plank on top the earwigs crawl in there for shelter during daylight.
That's the thumbnail for a video on how to make them.
Mine have been moved because of work going on in the backyard, but I'll try to find them today.
I almost lost a couple of young plants to earwigs a few years ago until I cut their population down with the traps.
A piece of cardboard laid flat on the ground works too, but you have to be pretty quick stomping them when you lift it. Those little buggers are fast.

Here's my WMD for them.
As you can see you need to make new ones every few years.

Wife picked up some bamboo sticks and plant ties while I was at work to keep everything from falling over they're outside now since 5 am this morning I'm not brave enough to be leaving them outside at night til they're a bit older tho or under I can get the materials for that earwigs trap
 
My 4 year old ended up getting into my locked pool area and tore up all my plants, no survivors. I'm out of time to start new ones, and out of money as those were 120$ beans. Good Run guys good run.
