Move outdoor. Seem stable now. Old post => https://www.reddit.com/r/dorstenia/s/33Pd7xewmA

first germination after two weeks. so far 6 germinated and 3-4 seeds are close to germination as it seems. i sowed 12-13 seeds. i use 24w grow light bars only 10cm above the container. thermometer is showing 28 degrees celcius in the same upper shelf but it is definitely way above 30 under the lights. directly under this metal shelf i have two 100w grow lights on 50-60% intensity which are heating the upper shelf quite a bit. so i assume at least 30-35 degrees celcius within the d. gigas pot. i also have a cheap little infrared thermometer which shows 32 degrees when aimed at the gigas pot but i have no clue how well it is calibrated

I've recently bounced back from a long stretch of depression where I didn't water my plants for well over a year. Their lights were on a timer, but that's literally all they got from me. A few weeks ago I went through and cleared out the dead guys and watered the survivors. I lost a lot of really cool plants, but these guys were always some of my favorites and I'm really glad they made it. Good to see them flowering again. Thought you guys might like it.

I have a lot of distance in my collection and some are etoliating and some aren’t. I have a mostly inorganic mix and grow daddy leds that are turned all the way up but that doesn’t seem to change anything. I thought I was giving too much water so I backed off a bit but I don’t think that’s it either. Please help
