Today i made my first two mistakes. I was happy that my two little plants were growing so tall and already getting their 2nd pair of leaves. But i did not realize that they were growing too tall and were too skinny. In the evening i was checking on them and i saw that plant 2 bent down and was laying on the substrate. I googled the cause and realized that the plant to lamp distance was too big (45cm) and the intensity too low. I was afraid that i give them too much light too early. After realizing my mistake, i increased the light intensity and lowered the lamp to 30cm distance. I also tried to tie up my plant two to a small bambus stick. I was using this garden tie with the wire for tomatoes and then i mistakenly bent/broke my little plant on two places. To fix my second mistake i used some substrate from my 3rd pot which did not germinate and dig in my plants up to the cotyledon leaves to prevent them from bending down again.

I was busy with moving to a new house, i did not have to time for my plants. When i came back to pick up the remaining stuff (and my little plants) i was expecting my plant 2 to be dead. But she was even growing. Now plant 1 overtook her and is growing faster. But even plant 2 continued to grow. They even got their 3rd pair of leaves.
Last week i slowly started watering them with Root Juice. This week i slowly started watering them with some more nutritions, like Plagrons Sugar Royal and BioNovas X-Cell as well with some CalMag.
