New batch happy update

The new batch is doing surprisingly well. First of all, the germination rate was on a higher end with 21 out of 80, with a few more coming, pushing it towards 30%. Not exceptional but really healthy.

Second of all, daily watering and occasional spray of chlorothalonil seem to work very well. I look for areas near the root for signs of dryness. If it does not look somewhat wet (dark) then I inject 5 ml of water. It's a bit of a fuzzy science but works well so far.

Out of 21 germinated in the last 10 days, 12 are confirmed to form seedlings:


It's actually even  better than that - only one germinated seed has clearly failed to form into a seedling. There is a total of 20 viable samples at this time.
