These are the updates for today.
After taking the white paper off from over the soil, and starting to close my closet door again, the plants leaves are not drooping anymore. I think they may have been drooping because the overall moisture level in the soil as well as in the room was too high.
When I got home today the temperature in my closet was almost 90 degrees!!! I had to go buy another fan. I got a 10inch oscilating fan.
I also noticed a couple of small things. At each node there are small leaves that are getting bigger and bigger each day. I am now on my fourth set of leaves at the top as well.
The most surprising this today was that there are leaves developing at the "node" by the seedling round leaves. ya know the little ones that first come with the sprout?) Leaves have begun developing right there and I really did not expect this. From reading other threads in this forum I assumed those round leaves would just die and fall off eventually.
On one of the plants the new growth developing by these round leaves actually ripped right through one!!! Instead of poking out by the stem the new little leave decided it was time to get some air and just pushed through!! You can see this in the picture. (100_2980 is the picture)
I am amazed at how well these plants are growing. They seem relentless against the heat. New leaves are growing everywhere, even in the spots I wouldnt have expected it.
