Day 20 - Nothing Yet

It'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. My babies aren't doing a darn thing yet. Boo! However, I decided to ask around and find out what is going on. I was told that I was being impatient. Me? Impatient? Never!!! Okay, always. And not just impatient, but my poor seedlings need constant heat. Oh...poor things. Before I got the heat mat I would put them outside, when it was hitting the high 70's, low 80's, then bring them inside where my house was getting down to the 60's. Oops.

So, now they are on the heat mat. Always nice and warm and a bit dried out. I mist them in the AM and the PM. I hope it's enough. Fingers crossed I haven't completely killed them.

Oh, I also bought a light. I haven't hung it up as I am debating how to do it. Not sure if I want to put anchors into the ceiling (I'm in an apartment). However, now they get 12-14 hours of light everyday. And good thing, because the past week it was raining and overcast a lot. There are so many options for lights out there. I decided to go with T5 fluorescent lighting. It's a 4 bulb light that's only about 2 feet long. Perfect for my little seedlings. And when winter comes around, perfect for all the seedlings and my full grown plumeria, which is outside right now. Speaking of which....

Below is probably the last flower of the summer for me. Looks like from September, the PNW starts to cool down. Which means no more flowering and probably by October I'll have to bring in my big plant.
