Growtendo64 Seed was planted directly into living soil and emerged smoothly. Light intensity kept around ~230 µmol, resulting in compact growth with no stretch. Mulch is kept lightly moist using rested tap water, supporting active soil life. Very solid start to this no-till run.

Growtendo64 The seedling broke through the soil on Day 1 (Jan 25) and showed a very stable development throughout the first week.
Light intensity was set to approximately 230 µmol/m²/s, measured with a PAR sensor. This resulted in compact growth with no stretching, indicating a healthy balance between light and early root development.
The cover crop is thriving and helps maintain a stable microclimate on the soil surface. Watering was kept very minimal during this phase: the mulch layer was lightly moistened with 1–2 day old tap water, never soaking the soil. The focus was on supporting soil biology rather than pushing vegetative growth.
The seedling is growing steadily in the center of the pot, showing healthy structure and good vigor. Overall, this was a very relaxed and controlled start to the first Living Soil / No-Till run, exactly as intended.
