I am a bit concerned about some of the plants. Maybe they spent all of their energy on turning green and that slowed their growth.

But, the seed on the bottom right of this picture (the same one that was pictured in the last entry) seems to have some discolouration on the edges of its seed leaves. Maybe I over filed it? No, wait a second. I just checked back and that seed was unfiled. So, I'm not sure if this is something I should worry about.

In any event, I misted the plants with water a couple of times today. Hopefully the water will help them bulk up. They are pretty turgid as it is. But, I figured that the potting soil must be getting pretty dry by now since it is more exposed to the air and any condensation doesn't just drip back down onto the plants like it would with the lid closed.

I am generally impressed with how well they've done. But, given their speed of growth in the last couple of days, the fact that they have done very little growing in the last 24 hours is a bit disturbing. I would have expected them to be a bit beefier.

I don't imagine that they are keeping very warm. And, I can tell from my wireless thermometer that the temperature has dropped significantly since I opened the nursery lid. So, I turned up the heating pad under the cooler to "medium".
