Hello everyone!
As some of you may know I have a few flytrap seedlings closing in on their fourth week of growth after germination. These VFTs are also my very first so naturally I am wondering about a few things.
A few days ago I took my seedlings out of their terrarium and put their pots on a plate so I can water them from underneath. Was this a good time to remove them from their terrarium (their traps have started opening up if that is any indication)?
Im currently using a 28W 6500k CLF light which I have situated about 1-1.5 inches above the pots. I have used the so called barry factor (sarracenia.com) to measure the light intensity using my camera and came up with a barry factor of 200%. So my question is, is this enough lighting? Even during the dark winter months? Which also brings me to my next question.
Dormancy, should I let my tiny almost-4-week-old seedlings go dormant or not?
