Hi there,

I'm new to Adenium and planted these three weeks ago. They're currently under a grow light with an intensity of 200 PPFD and a photoperiod of 12 hours.

While a few of them are reasonably small, several of them have experienced explosive growth. Their true leaves seem very large compared to what I've seen online, and many of them look deformed.

I'm concerned about them growing too quickly and don't want them to struggle later in life because of it. Is this normal? I hope I'm overreacting haha.

I've feed them once with a heavily diluted mixture of General Hydroponics Flora series products with an added calmag supplement.

They look quite a bit smaller in the photos than they do in person. "Explosive" growth is relative to their size two days ago.

Thank you! Thank You!
