Coffee aribica moving on...

So, here is an update on the first coffee tree crop:
There are a few other plants there but 36 coffee trees. 

Few things I've learned. 
 I was over-watering them. 
 I should have left them in the humidity seedling trays longer... until the leaves start (or better yet, fully) pop out of the bean husk.
 - A little bit of fertilizer goes a long way (for the ones that have already had leaves emerge).
 - And, I should put them outside sooner. 

This last point is pure speculation at this moment due to the behavior of various other similar plants in my collection. I now have a rack with 40% shade cloth on the back deck to hopefully prevent the Sun scorching their leaves so I'll be moving these outside too in the coming days.
