As I noticed two days ago, #15 showed clear signs of the new needles emerging from the middle a whooping one week earlier than previous leader #4. As of this morning #15 new needles are visibly longer than those of #4:

#15 also remains significantly differently looking than #4. It's much more compact, with its three main needles pointing more vertical. The color is overall darker, both for the stem and the needles.

I also made a change to the watering of the Brown Patch seedlings. The growing medium dries out very fast. It appears that it can hold the water deep inside pretty well, but the cups weigh significantly less at the end of every day. I started adding water at the bottom of the holding pan, about 8-10 oz last couple of days. Note darker wet stains on the cups. I am trying to keep the brown patch wet, but it's quite hard, without pouring a lot of water on top of the seeds, which is not a good idea, I think:
Number 8 is officially dead and will be removed today. The king is dead, long live the king.
