The 1250 and the 689 are both doing fine now. I came to the conclusion that the reason for their first true leaves wilting was caused by some insecticidal soap I had sprayed them with just prior to the onset of their wilting, that on top of a lack of water. NEVER SPRAY A DEHYDRATED PLANT! The first true leaves are no longer wilting since I started watering them more, though they now have a permanent torched appearance around their edges. Their second true leaves are coming along just fine, as are their thirds.

The past four days have been very warm and sunny, hitting in the 80’s everyday since Tuesday. It’s also been very dry, too. Not a single drop of rain has fallen since last Saturday morning, 6 ½ days ago. Likewise, this warm dry, breezy weather has the dirt baking to a crisp in exposed areas.
