Update. Pics taken 21/June, at 25 days old since sprout.
I'm under the impression that tey are starting to develop some kind of nutritional issue. It looks to me like the top new growth is showing a little bit of interveinal yellowing/chlorosis, but I'm not sure because I can only see it under certain light (when the sun is full shinning I can't really see anything, they seem to be fine).
In case it is a nutritional problem, the interveinal chlorosis should be caused by one of these things (following the Jorge Cervantes chart):
1-Macro excess: P or K.
2-Micro deficiency: Mn, Zn or Fe.
If it is macro excess, I can't really do that much; Just flush the soil. But I don't feel too comfortable doing that because if it is micro deficiency then things could go worse. If it is micro deficiency, the only thing I can do is to feed them with the growing fertilizer; But I also don't feel too comfortable doing that because if it is macro excess then thing could also go worse.
I guess it could also be PH inbalance (caused by the rain maybe? I didn't water them for quite a while now), but I can't do anything about that for the moment. I should receive a PH meter sometime this week (I'm hoping I'll get it today or tomorrow).
So, my decision was to give them CalMax, that has some Fe in it but no P or K. I think it is the "safest" solution for the moment.
Other than this possible nutritional problem, they seem to be fine. They have grown a nice amount in the last five days, and now MPCK#1 is showing a bigger internodal distance than her sisters. She was also the only one that grew 3, 5, 7 and 9 finger leaves (in contrast with 1, 3, 5, and 7 from the others). The lowest new shoots of the BH are growing irregular, and the cotiledons got yellow (she is the only one with the yellow cotiledons so far), but she is doing OK too, like the others.
