Black Muffin by Sweet Seeds – Week 4 in the Growth Phase
Week 4 is done, and the Black Muffin is thriving! 🌱 She’s showing steady growth, with new leaves filling out and her structure looking stronger each day.
This week, I measured the pH of my reverse osmosis water and found it to be 5.7. Ideally, the pH should be between 6 and 7, but the microorganisms and the living soil bed are great at self-regulating, so I’m confident it will balance out naturally.
I also increased the light intensity to 400 PPFD, which seems to be helping her development. The light spots from earlier are still a mystery, but they haven’t spread, and the plant seems unaffected, growing beautifully regardless.
The worms in the bed remain super active, happily munching on banana peels and doing their part to keep the soil lively. Everything seems to be progressing well, and I’m excited to see how she continues in Week 5! 🍌
