I suspect the stretch is because the seeds weren’t planted deep enough, so the seedlings haven’t had to put in much effort yet and have grown mostly untrained, shooting straight up. Next time, I’ll plant the seeds deeper to observe this “phenomenon,” but ultimately it doesn’t matter much, since the germination plugs will be planted deeper when I transplant them into 1 liter pots.
#1 and #2 are fine. 3 still seems to have some problems. But since I only planned to have two pots in the tent anyway, the question of sorting them out later will not bother me.
--- Day 5 ---
That's going to be tricky for #3.

Huelsbeck Begin round about week two since germination.
PPFD: ≈ 250, DLI: 15-20
I'm now repotting #1 and #2 into 1 liter fabric pots. Plagron light mix and mycorrhiza fungi powder (aprox. 1/2etea spoon powder per plant hole). No water for now. The soil was dry, but the pellets were wet. I’ll wait 1–2 days before watering.
#3 has shed part of its shell and doesn’t look healthy.
The sisters #1 and #2 are left behind. Forced to stand by as the soul of their little sibling slowly fades away over the next few days... Even in a controlled environment, the world is ruthless and shows no mercy.
And did you know that ‘Dr. Stähler – Aktiv Wurzel Power Mycorrhiza’ works surprisingly well as a grey reference for white balance?
More pictures will follow in the next days...
