Glad to hear they are progressing nicely.Your little ladies are looking exquisite! Nothing changed much on my end. Added another cup of water yesterday to all the reservoirs, its been 2 days. In another 2 days, will add one more cup then 2 days after that, will fill the reservoir up and my first application of Geoflora. Happy Friday, enjoy!
I'm in a similar boat with my babies.
I have been gently watering right around the seedlings to keep the wet zone centered and moving down for the roots to chase, and to a much lesser degree I have been spraying the entire soil surface just to keep things from going bone dry on the outer perimeter of the pots.
I use a cheepo water meter that you poke into the soil. The meter shows the outer edges at optimal and the center a bit wet, which is what I wanted.
Now I have no dry spots, and I will stop watering for a few days and monitor the moisture.
I will still lightly spray the surface with my sprayer set to "mist" and check it for clumping/crusting every time it dries out.
As the center dries I want the tap root to chase it down. Usually around day 21 they are ready for a more normal watering practice, and then they really start to grow.
