She does look happier…looks like she is greening up again too with that clover taking off helping to insulate her roots
Not really, receding at the pot edges is normal so that is no surprise… each seedling will dry out the pot faster than others even at the same age like DBHP F2’s here:
See how the “drier” looking ones are bigger? They are developing a larger root system having to search for the water. Now my Lucky 7’s are cold as seen here…
Yes, even at 73F being 16-18" away from the light compared to Lucky Charms in a more sheltered warmer environment at 74F being 18" away from the light
The difference is the air temp. I didn’t close the dog door at night for a couple days (outside temp ~10-12F) so I can show you the differences…Lucky 7’s received ~40F as the air doesn’t have a chance of warming up all that much before it gets to them whereas, Lucky Charms received ~50F as the air has a chance of warming up more before it reaches them having more obstacles in the way and DBHP F2’s received ~65F being in a room next door and higher off the ground so it has a chance to warm up more before getting to the plants. None of them are thirsty though the Lucky 7’s appear so…I am going to have to pot up earlier than planned as the cold also had them use up their seedling energy trying to stay warm.
Anyhow, watering them a day early isn’t going to hurt anything though the amount will…To get them to the next watering day (Thurs) you need to give them 3 Tb total just around the edge of the pot…1/2-1 tsp at a time works best so the soil can suck up the water as it enters without it running out
