I don't know why I was so shocked yesterday when I saw that my moonflower seeds had exploded into growth only 4 short days after planting
given what happened last time but I was. This time around, I think I got the moisture level right because there's no white mold. Hopefully, they don't
turn purple or
get eaten by bugs.

Speaking of getting eaten by bugs, here's what nice and healthy bug-free bok choy looks like. Beautiful, isn't it?
In fact, all of my second generation (for 2011) seedlings are pretty healthy looking, although some of the older parts of the stems growth on the orachs and brassicas look a little skinny and weak compared to the newer growth (i.e., thinner at the bottom of the stem than at the top). The transition between skinny and fat at the node where the seed leaves grew from. This could probably be corrected by growing them next time at lower temperatures and with the lights a bit closer after germination.

As for my lithops, they all seem to be doing interesting things. There are nice plump lithops and then there are wrinkly-looking guys. Some are changing colours, others are retreating into the ground, and yet others ... are they supposed to look like that?

unfortunately that looks a lot like the developing new head on my mature lithops that shrivelled and died

the others look good though! mine are still mostly green and iridescent, just barely showing signs of some colour
Yeah, my vote is abnormal on that last one.
