September 18

the temperature is + 23 °C and the growlights are now on between 7 am to 7 pm, 12 hours. i am watering all the pots because the first test is coming. i am away from my "babies" for a long weekend and it makes me nervous. everywhere i read that the seedlings need a good airflow so they don't die of fungal diseases but on the other hand there's no way i can keep their moisture up when i am away without lightly sealing the pots. so first i water them all. monilaria pot is quite dry with a lot of algae, on the other hand the conophytum pot is quite moist and the lithops and the argyroderma are something in between. then i cover the monilaria pot in cling film lightly, the rest i reseal with their lids. 22 of the monilaria seeds have sprouted and i can already see nice bunny ears, 11 argyroderma have sprouted, 11 of the lithops and 3 of the conophytum.
