RQS - The Littlest Dwarf

@homerjgangia, Thanks HomerJ - I hope they get moving. Hate to lower the success rate of RQS seeds...

@Psilocubensis, Hey Psilo - I found something interesting today with this dude - You remember the leaves were going like a seagull before..? The 2nd set of leaves for this guy a week or so ago started to do the same thing, so I had a look and: It seems that if I pop the leaves with a little pressure, they can invert themselves and rather than doing the bird's wing - they will scoop upwards instead, as if they are taco'ing towards the light. This is kinda confusing, but I am thinking that - after seeing another journal where the plant was looking like a brussel's sprout, that it might be simply that it's some strange thing inherent to the breed..? It is only a few leaves that are doing it / have done it, and I would expect that all of the leaves would be showing signs of over/under-watering, no..? Perhaps it is something to do with humidity, as this guy feels a little dry to the touch on some leaves - I think that he needs higher temps, higher humidity and also less light that the others I have him with. Either way, this guy appears to be doing ok, and is really very tiny :p

@Psilocubensis,Seems as if you are right, Psilo..! Happy the Royal Dwarf has been showing signs off too much water already - this soil might not be so good. Tomorrow, if he is still alive, I will remove some and put in some gravel mix to help it drain a little faster.

@Psilocubensis, What do you think about seeds germinating in hydroponics..? I have today changed out the seeds from Royal Dwarf that did not germinate at all, for Northern Lights. I wonder if to germinate them out of the hydro and instead in something else before transferring them... but they are autos and I read to not mess with autos when they get going.

@@Teh_Saccade, Hell yeah!

@love_2_grow, Thanks! The rest of the garden is coming to life too!

@Foxylove420, Those mushies are loving it in that potting mix for some reason. They shoot up within an hour or so and are gone by the next day.

@Kynareth, Thanks buddy! It's my first time in about 20 years, and I've never used auto's before. I've no idea why the Royal Dwarf seeds dislike the paper towel so much... These 2 are the only ones that have moved, being put into the Growit discs - but when they did, it was quick!

@GrowMyPips, You were right GrowMyPips - this potting soil is not draining so well! It absorbs the water so quick that it feels dry, unless I dig down under the fibre cup, which is where I found mud. I am going to repot him tomorrow. His roots are already 12cm long spreading out sideways! Fast little bugger..!

@GrowMyPips, Hey bud, it's tot the water that's the issue with these little guys - it's that they don't germinate. This one has had some strange things going on with it's leaves today. It looks like he's overheating but I can't think why...

@Chucky324, Yessir!!! Idk how that happened, Chuck ;) Cheers buddy!
