I decided to pot the rest of the seedlings into their larger homes (cluster of 7 in the lower left/middle). As you can see in the photo below, the ones on the right are the newest ones. They're the slower growing seedlings. I mean, look how great the ones on the right are doing. Yay. If you noticed that the perlite is yellow on the ones on the right, I think it's the SuperThrive. I spray them in the morning with a mixture of SP in it. Otherwise, I have no clue why it's yellowing. The seedlings are still healthy.
My final count is: 4 Thai Mango Blush and 12 Kaleinani
2 Thai Mango Blush's are doing well, the other two are growing really slowly (the TMB are the 3 on the extreme left and top row, second from the left).
6 Kaleinani's are the strongest. The rest, are still very small. Not sure what the difference was or if it's just strong seeds versus not so strong ones? Well, we'll see.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with all of these once they outgrow this container. So far, they're still in a plastic container to keep the humidity up and on the heat pad to keep them warm. It looks like the plant in the lower left corner isn't sitting on the heat mat (no space), so we'll see what happens. I'm debating on buying another mat, but then I'd have to buy another thermostat. Yikes. Maybe next year if it's needed.
In the photo below, this is a side view of all of the plants. They don't look much taller, but if you look at previous photos, you can tell in this one just how much the leaves have grown. Growth has definitely slowed down, but still going.
My babies are getting round the clock heat and about 12 hours of light. It's been sunny outside, so I've been opening up the blinds so they get some real sun. I keep the lid on the container though (it's clear) to keep the humidity levels up.
I'll post another update in a week.
