Its time to update
What is it now? about somewhere 3rd to 4th week?
They look awesome, friendly, smiling with an ever growing, broad smie daily!
From one of them, I removed the encompassing straw, and for over 24 hours, it seems to be relatively straight, even with a Fan blowing air in its direction.
The suggestion to help the third by manually opening its shell, seem to have helped immensly, but too soon to tell I think.
The big 2 already have roots growing outside the rockwool, and hopefully the clay pellets are enough to give them growth room - I made a little mistake, by leaving too small layer at the buttom - I think somewhere between 1-1.5 inch only.
So far, I was checking with a finger pressure, the humidity of the rockwool, to judge when is it time to add water.
When its feels dry and light, I would add about 200ml balanced water to each which would be enough for a couple days.
Today I added only about 75ml of water each, I think.
So, when is the next stage, where I use the water tank, and activate the circular watering system? or do I keep watering them from freshly prepared nutrient solution once a few days? I prepare it in a 1 litre container, so balancing PH is a pita
too hard and sensitive, not once I had to throw it all away as it reached even 3.x.
They are around 2 inch from the lamp, I think.
Could it be time to get a stronger lamp? I fear this 120watt fluorscent may no longer be enough for them... what do you reckon guys? (you can see the lamp's shape in one of the pictures).

Finally, I want to thank everyone here (and on IRC channel), who helped and guided me so far!! We are not done yet
EDIT: PS: In the last picture, you can see the lowest leaf turns yellow, and looks like it is going to die.
Why is that? is it normal?
