**Party time—**all three seeds have sprouted!
I’m gently watering the plants, and it turns out that the ring formed by the mulch works perfectly as a visual guide for where not to water. This helps me avoid flooding the still-fragile seedlings. Again, I’m not sure if it’s necessary, but that’s how I’m rolling for now.
Now let’s get down to the stats. I’ve done a fair share of theory, and I’m aiming for an ideal VPD. For the early vegetative phase, I’m targeting a VPD of 0.5 kPa. That translates to around 85% relative humidity at about 28°C. For light intensity I am aiming for 200 to 300 PPFD.
Watering is every other day to keep the soil moist and prevent it from turning hydrophobic.
