Changes to crops:
Narrative: Sprayed liqui-grow onto vegetables, watered microgreens and plants. 90% germination in the paper towel group. Vermicular has now about the same germination, with the average height of the seeds being much taller than paper towel, the tallest being 4 centimeters. I think this is because the vermicular allows the seeds to stand upright, and the big disparity in results occurred after the switch from blackout to clear lids, which positively impacted the vermicular group a lot.
Harvest: No harvest.
Support/supplies needed: Microgreen SOP doesn’t cover protocol for transferring seeds from tray to soil. Can I take liberties to plant the vermicular group, or for experimental purposes should I leave them in the tray?
