So we planted the beets last Wednesday its now Tuesday a week later and we've came back to school seeing that our beets had a good start at growing!
The soil was still wet when we checked the moisture so we didn't water them. Although on the long weekend we filled the tray with lots of water so they wouldn't dry out. Also had the lights on them 12 hours a day (6:00am - 6:00pm)
The beets have parallel veins
The height of the beets are currently 3.5 cm tall and there is two leaves per stem at the moment. In total with the 7 seeds we planted on Wednesday there is now 10 stems. Each steam has two leaves.
Over the weekend we observed that the beets wouldn't had even shown up out of the soil. But we figured that having really good soil put a boost on the starting process.
The light intensity is 500 lx
The temperature of the soil is 28 degrees Celsius
pH of the soil is 6.5 Alkaline
