Not much to report, of course. I did lightly mist the top of the soil on WP 1 which is already under the lights. The soil on top was dry to the touch. Not an issue for the plastic covered pots on top of the fridge.
I've been reflecting on how I learned to keep the stretch minimal right out of the soil. The first time I started plants I had early stretch problems. And, I had problems with shedding the seed coat and membrane too. It was frustrating! I had to do surgery to remove the seed coat in some cases.
I read tons of journals, even if I don't actually post in them. I learned a few things as I did so, not by asking questions in my thread and getting a bazillion different opinions, but by taking note of information relevant to issues I'd had. What I learned was that the reason I was having problems was I was planting the seeds too shallow. As the germinated seed pushes it's way up through the soil the soil helps pull the seed coat and membrane off the cotyledons. I started planting deeper and it eliminated the problem.
Considering this, I think planting depth influences stretch too. Until the cotyledons open and photosynthesis begins the little plant is relying on the starch stored in the seed for energy. The plant can not use that stored energy for growing leaves until the cotyledons are open. They won't open until the seed coat and membrane are shed. All the energy goes into growing the stem taller and taller - not to producing leaves.
Watching the time lapse Canna posted, you can see the membrane drop off. The plant is already well out of the soil. I'm going to watch these seeds I have going now to see how tall they are when they shed the membrane.
