Jealousy

Raffael The Little Latecomer Grow Diary Update: Jealousy (Week 1) ​Day 1 (05.11.): Successful germination. The first small white root stretches out of the soil. (The second Jealousy nut was discarded because it did not germinate). ​Day 2 (06.11.): The plant broke through the soil. Since the seed shell was still stuck, manual assistance was given and the "helmet" was carefully pulled off. The cotyledons underneath were initially still slightly pale, but began to darken vigorously right away under the 45W LED lamp. ​Day 3 & 4 (07.11. - 08.11.): Strong growth spurt. The first true pair of leaves unfolds and it makes optimal use of the light from the 45W lamp in the propagation area to gain height quickly. ​Midweek (Substrate adjustment): The pot was deliberately topped up once more with soil and mycorrhiza to strengthen the root zone. This raised the soil level by 2 cm. ​Day 5 & 6 (09.11. - 10.11.): After topping up the soil, the purely vertical growth has visually slowed somewhat. The plant is now visibly investing its energy in establishing the underground root system through the fresh mycorrhiza and developing its leaf mass. ​Day 7 (11.11.): End of the first week. The propagation dome has been completely removed; it is standing completely freely in the propagation area. It measured 5 cm from the new soil line (equivalent to approx. 7 cm of total growth). The beginning of the second proper pair of leaves is minimally visible. Watering is on a strict zero diet (water only), big move to the 350L bed (planned for December 1)
