Dec 21 (day 12) - Overall, things are looking good this morning. All the babies are still showing constant and dramatic growth and continue to throw out new leaf development. I'm still puzzling over this slight yellowing on the runt and the cot's on #1. If anything, the problem got worse yesterday. The only thing that happened yesterday was that they all got a good drenching. I went to the troubleshooting guide and looked at pictures for a good long time last night and the only picture that even came close to looking like my problem was the description of over-watering. This combined with me watering them yesterday has me convinced that I must restrain myself a bit more. The next watering will not happen until I am convinced that they must have it. I'm sorry babies... mama does love you, you just can't have a drink right now.

I just had one of those "ah ha" moments. I think I am hurting my runt by assuming that she has the same water needs as the bigger plants next to her. She just does not need as much water yet as the rest of them. Too much love. Bad Emmie.

I am also on the warpath as of today. I saw a bug. Damn little flying thing, I'm guessing it was a white fly. OOOh... this bug has no idea what he started! This will never do! I'm getting a sticky strip and I am spraying something hideous in that closet. I did a close inspection under leaves and all through things and see no sign of the bugs on my babies... yet.

Here are the morning pictures!

The runt with her yellowing problem... still growing well though!
