Ztric 23.04.24: Planted the seed at 5:30pm. I planted the seed in normal dirt. I did all this in the final pot to not have to replant. 24.04.24-26.04.24: Nothing happened for a cupple days. I try keeping the dirt wet by spraying it when it feels dry. I am worried that my dirt is too rich in nutrients and could burn my seedling because I discovered that the dirt is pre-fertilized. 27.04.24: The first branch is showing up in the morning. I set up an LED at 40cm distance and a small fan. I tried watering the seedling for the first time with a watering can. 28.04.24: The surface of the pot seems dry but a few cm deeper the dirt is still wet so I wont water today. Also the leaves of the seedling are curled downwards which could be a sign of overwatering. In the evening I cover the seedling with half of a waterbottle to increase humidity which right now is constantly at 50-60%. Despite the curled leaves the plant looks very healthy. The stem might be a little bit purple which I keep an eye out for. 29.04.24: The whole seedling seems to elongate quite a lot so I lowered the LED to about 10cm. Since the seedling keep growing higher I improvised another LED lamp with some LED Strips I had laying around and a cupboard that I added to the setup in the evening. I hope this will stop the eliotation (don't even know if that's the right word) and increase the power of my lamp. I'm thinking of constantly changing the pots with two other plants I have under the bought LED and the improvised one since the improvised one seems a bit darker but I'm not sure if that stresses the plant too much going from light to less light frequently. I also added a bigger turning fan. Despite that the leaves have stopped curling the stem has a healthy green colour. 30.04.24: The dirt felt very dry so I watered again. This time with less water to not overwater again. I also filled the pot a little more with dirt to support the elongated seedling. Despite that everything looks healthy.

Ztric 01.05.: Watered today ~60ml The temperature is too high with 32°C and the humidity too low with 45%. Height: 5cm. 02.05.: Because of the high temperatures I watered again ~60ml and opened a window over the day. Compared to the morning, the temperature in the afternoon dropped from 32°C to 22°C while the humidity increased from 45% to 55%. Height: 5cm. 03.05.: I raised the LED to ~7cm above the plant. Temperature 24°C, humidity: 58%, height: 5cm. 04.05.: The leaves are starting to hang down a little. I might have overwatered again. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 50%, height: 5cm. 05.05.: Now the leaves are very visibly hanging down. I might have overwatered but that would have to become at least a little better by now. Temperature 27°C, humidity: 50%, height: 5cm. 06.05.: Since the leaves are not getting better, I go with dehydration instead of overhydration. I watered ~70ml. I also put her under my more powerful LED with ~35cm distance to the plant. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 50%, height 5cm. 07.05.: The leaves seem to become better a little bit. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 63%, height 5cm. My Green Gelato is worrying me the most of my three plants, since she did not grow either in height nor really in leave size. At least compared to my other too plants. I especially hope that the leaves hanging down are not a symptom of rootproblems or infections that could spread to my other too plants that are standing right beside her. Overall the plant has a nice green colour just the leaves are worrying me a lot,

Ztric 08.05.2024: I sprayed the surface with water today. I think the sign of dehydration could actually be a sign of suffocating roots, since the dirt feels very dense. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 62%, height 5.5cm. 09.05.-11.05.24: Had to leave for a cupple of days. My roomate watered on the 11.05. 12.05.2024: The bottom leavetips are starting to become yellow. I think this might be a sign of malnutrition. I'll start feeding fertilizer tomorrow. Temperature: 32°C, humidity, 37%, height: 6.5cm. 13.05.2024: Gave fertilizer for the first time today. First I watered with 100ml then 10min later I gave 100ml of a 1/150 solution of fertilizer. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 55%, height 6.5cm. 14.05.2024: The bottomleaves are still yellow. I hope this is not a sign of an infection. If it is, all my three plant have it so isolating on plant is not nessesary in my opinion. Temperature: 28°C, humidity, 55%, height 6.5cm. This is the plant that is growing the slowest of all my three plant. Not concerningly slow just way slower then the other two. If this continues I need to seperate them to make sure they ge the light they need. I'm battling high temperature this week. I also hope that the discoloration is not sign of an infection and if so that the infection is not influencing the growth of the plant too much at least.

Ztric She grows very slow. At least compared to my other two plants. But I think that differs from plant to plant. I had some fungus gnats that I bought some yellow sticker and nematodes for. I hope they didn't harm her. I was surprised that she smells already.

Ztric I bought some nematodes against the fungus gnats. Overall she looks very healthy even though she's growing very slowly. I guess I need to just be a bit more patient with her.
