I feel like a proud parent. My little guys are starting to show their true leaves! When seedlings emerge, the first set of leaves is called the cotyledon. Those are basically the embryonic leaves that they start out with. True leaves are the first “real” leaves and will look like tiny versions of the adult plant. SO ADORBS! I only see one parsley, but they’re a bit slower anyway so I’m not worried.
I also added a fan to make sure the air moves around and I don’t have a moisture issue. It’s also important to keep the plants moving a little bit all the time so they get strong and don’t get super leggy. As the little guys grow I’ll start watering a little more frequently. Problem with this fan is it only goes back and forth horizontally, and it is also REALLY strong. I move it daily and rotate the trays, but I don’t think I’ll be able to keep it up. I tried keeping the shower curtain closed to create kind of a wind tunnel thing, but it wasn’t ideal. Also the fan tripped the GFCI outlet twice turning on and off. SO…I’m in the market for two smaller fans now.
