Windowsill Radish - Day 38 - Possible plant bolting

I don't seem to be noticing much growth in the radish root lately. It seems growth is stagnating. I did give the plant a little bit of liquid fertilizer. Honestly, I'm not sure if it was the right fertilizer for the situation. I should have probably done more research. I used a fertilizer that is more for supporting green growth. I took the usually shots but not a lot to see. There was one thing I noticed was that the stem of the radish seems to be elongating. Almost like it might start bolting. I have a plant on my balcony that is clearly bolting. I really need to share some pictures of those plants soon. Anyway it is noticeable in the third photo of the elongation of the stem.

Windowsill Radishes - Day 15

Finally made it to posting about the current day's progress on the day of! The radish plants' growth appears to really be taking off now. I expect I'll start seeing large amounts of growth each day from here on out. I'm really excited to see if bulbs will start forming. That likely won't be for another week or two though (maybe longer). The second set of true leaves on the left plant are definitely apparent in these images. The leaves just look so nice and I'm really enjoying observing the growth each day. Perhaps the next step for me would be doing a time lapse video of growth.

Windowsill Radishes - Day 30

It's here, the fated day 30, and I can say these radishes definitely need some more time to grow. I suppose I could harvest them to see how they look and taste but I'm going to commit to another five days. Below are the usual shots of the plants.

Windowsill Radishes - Day 18

The plants as of 5/2/2020 reached 18 days of growth. That growth has been impressive to me at least. I'm new to growing radishes except I think back in elementary we grew a few radish seeds in a Styrofoam cup of dirt as a science experiment. From what I've read online, I may be looking to fertilize the plants soon. The second set of true leaves have now reached about the same size as the first set were on Day 12. Here's the photos from Day 18.
